PATRICIA A. BLACKMON, A.J.:
     Petitioner avers that he has been in the custody of respondent
sheriff since November 17, 1997.  Petitioner further avers that he
was not afforded a parole revocation hearing as required by  R.C.
                               -2-
2967.15.  Petitioner requests that this court order respondent to
bring petitioner to this court for a hearing and order petitioner's
discharge.
     Respondent has filed a motion to dismiss (Motion No. 93080).
Attached to the motion  to dismiss are copies of journal  entries
stamped received  for filing  on February  24, 1998  in State  v.
Elliott, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case Nos. CR-358341,
358475 and 358960, in  which the court of common pleas  sentenced
petitioner to concurrent six-month sentences to be served at  the
Lorain Correctional  Institution and  granted 93  days jail  time
credit.  Respondent  argues that this action should be  dismissed
because petitioner is  no longer in  custody in Cuyahoga  County.
Petitioner has not responded to the motion.
     Initially, we note that petitioner
     *** did  not verify his  petition as  required by  R.C.
     2725.04. State ex rel. Lemmon v. Ohio Adult Parole Auth.
     (1997), 78 Ohio  St.3d 186. 188,  677 N.E.2d 347,  349.
     [Additionally, petitioner] did not attach copies of all
     of his pertinent commitment McBroom v. Russell (1996), 77
     Ohio St.3d 47, 48, 671 N.E.2d 10, 11.
State ex rel. Ranzy v. Coyle (1998), 81 Ohio St.3d 109, 110,  ___
N.E.2d ___ (affirming the judgment of the court of appeals denying
petitioner's request for a writ of habeas corpus).   Finally,  if
[petitioner] is incarcerated at the Lorain Correctional Institution
in Lorain County, this action cannot be maintained in this court in
Cuyahoga County. R.C. 2725.03; Bridges v. McMackin (1989), 44 Ohio
St.3d 135, 541 N.E.2d 1035; State ex rel. Washington v.  Anderson
(Apr. 2, 1996), Cuyahoga App.  No. 70368, unreported.   State  ex
rel. Lawrence v. McFaul (Sept. 25, 1997), Cuyahoga App. No. 73112,
unreported, at 2-3.
     Accordingly, respondent's  motion  to  dismiss  is  granted.
                               -3-
Petitioner to pay costs.
     Writ dismissed.
