PATRICIA A. BLACKMON,A.J.:
     Sua sponte, the complaint for writ of mandamus is  dismissed
for noncompliance with Loc.App.R. 8(B)(1).  Relator has failed to
attach the required supporting affidavit that specifies the details
of his claim.  See State  ex rel. Simmons v. Angelotta (June  12,
1997), Cuyahoga App. No. 72198, unreported; State ex rel. Taylor v.
Court of Common Pleas  (Nov. 14, 1996), Cuyahoga App. No.  71536,
unreported.
     Case dismissed.  Costs to relator.
