JAMES D. SWEENEY, C.J.:
     Sua sponte,  Motion  for Writ  of Procedendo  is  dismissed.
Original actions may only be instituted by petition or complaint,
not by motion.  See Loc.App.R. 8; State ex rel. Sharif v. Cuyahoga
County  Prosecutor  (Mar. 6,  1997),  Cuyahoga  App.  No.  71836,
unreported.  In addition, relator has failed to name a respondent
against whom the  writ should issue and  has failed to provide  a
corresponding address in the caption.  All of these deficiencies,
or any one of them, warrant dismissal.  See Sharif, supra; State ex
rel. Calloway (Feb. 27, 1997), Cuyahoga App. No. 71699, unreported;
State ex rel. Samuels v. Municipal Court (Nov. 22, 1994), Cuyahoga
App. No. 67762, unreported; State ex rel. White v. Villanueva (Oct.
6, 1993), Cuyahoga App No. 66009, unreported.
     Case dismissed.  Relator to pay costs.
