PATRICIA A. BLACKMON,A.J.:
     Oscar Barker, petitioner, filed an "Application for Writting
(sic)of Habeas Corpus" for permission "to submit an (sic) writting
(sic) of  Habeas Corpus for the  Cuyahoga Court of Common  Pleas,
Judge  William  J.  Coyne  court."    Petitioner  captioned   his
application  "State of Ohio  v. Oscar Barker,"  did not name  the
person maintaining his custody or give his or her address, and did
not attach any commitment papers.  Petitioner did not allege  any
unlawfulness of his commitment, and petitioner did not provide  a
detailed  affidavit  in  support of  his  claim  as  required  by
Loc.App.R. 8.  In sum, petitioner failed to comply with any of the
statutes governing the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus.   See
R.C. 2725, etseq.; Bloss v. Rogers (1992), 65 Ohio St.3d 145, 602
N.E.2d 602; State v. Lawrence (Sep. 25, 1997), Cuyahoga App.  No.
73112, unreported.   Additionally,  if petitioner  is being  held
outside of Cuyahoga County,  the petition should be filed in  the
county of imprisonment.  R.C. 272503; Bridges v. McMackin (1989),
44 Ohio St.3d 135, 541 N.ED.2d 1035.
     Accordingly, petitioner's request for permission is  denied,
and the  prosecutor's  motion to  dismiss  is granted.  Costs  to
relator.
