MICHAEL J. CORRIGAN, P.J.:
     Petitioner avers  that he  is incarcerated  in the  Pickaway
Correctional Institution.  Respondent is the warden.
     This court has consistently dismissed habeas corpus  actions
brought against respondents located outside Cuyahoga County.  See,
e.g., the following  sua sponte dismissals  of actions in  habeas
corpus  against  the   warden  of   the  Mansfield   Correctional
Institution: State ex rel. Washington v. Anderson (Apr. 2, 1996),
Cuyahoga App. No. 70368, unreported, and State ex rel. Griffin v.
Anderson (June  19, 1996),  Cuyahoga App.  No. 70646,  unreported
[citing R.C. 2725.03 and Bridges v. McMackin (1989), 44 Ohio St.3d
135, 541 N.E.2d  1035]. Accordingly, the fact that petitioner  is
incarcerated outside of Cuyahoga County provides a sufficient basis
for dismissing this action sua sponte.
     Furthermore, the petition  does not state a claim in  habeas
corpus.  In his  Issue One,  petitioner complains that the county
prosecutor's office  used evidence from  a nurse practitioner  to
secure  his  indictment.    Petitioner  argues  that  the   nurse
practitioner was unlawfully practicing medicine.  As a consequence,
petitioner argues  that  his trial  counsel was  ineffective  for
failing to move to dismiss the indictment as well as:  failing to
 admit crucial evidence ; coercing petitioner into entering a plea;
and failing to move to withdraw the plea.  Petition, at 3-4.  The
                               -3-
issue of the  ineffectiveness of counsel  is not appropriate  for
habeas corpus.  Ellis v. McMackin (1992), 65 Ohio St.3d 161,  602
N.E.2d 611.
     In his Issue Two, petitioner complains that Judge William J.
Coyne--to  whom  the  underlying  criminal  case,  CR-330815,  is
assigned--has failed to issue findings of fact and conclusions of
law with regard to all of the issues in petitioner's petition for
postconviction relief. In State ex rel. Justice v. Coyne (Nov. 26,
1997), Cuyahoga App.  No. 73119, unreported, this court issued  a
writ of mandamus compelling respondent Coyne to issue findings of
fact and conclusions of law  so that they clearly, completely, and
specifically respond to all the material and determinative issues.
Id. at 9.  If Judge Coyne fails to act within a  reasonable time,
this court has the authority to enforce its judgment in mandamus.
State ex rel. Bitter v. Missig (1995), 72 Ohio St.3d 249, 252, 648
N.E.2d 1355.  Enforcing  the judgment (if necessary) in Case  No.
73119 provides an adequate remedy.  Relief in habeas corpus would
not, therefore, be appropriate.
     Accordingly, we dismiss this action, sua sponte.  Petitioner
to pay costs.
     Writ dismissed.
