PATRICIA A. BLACKMON,A.J.:
     Frederick Wright, relator,  commenced this action to  compel
respondent, Judge Nancy  Fuerst, to grant  him an additional  two
hundred fifty-four or two hundred sixty days of jail time credit in
Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case Nos. CR-345918, 358136,
359949 and  345839.  Respondent  moved for  summary judgment  and
attached certified copies of journal entries from the above cases
that show that relator waived his right to claim credit for  time
served.  Any  further dispute concerning the calculation of  jail
time credit must be considered through a direct appeal.  State ex
rel. McCool v. Callahan (Oct. 2, 1997), Cuyahoga App. No.  72971,
unreported.  Relief in mandamus is inappropriate.  Id.
     Furthermore, relator failed to comply with Loc.App.R. 8(B)(1),
which requires that complaints in original actions be supported by
a detailed affidavit.  Noncompliance warrants dismissal.  State ex
rel. Simmons v. Angelotta (June 12, 1997), Cuyahoga App. No. 72198,
unreported.
     Accordingly, respondent's  motion  for summary  judgment  is
granted.  Costs to relator.
