JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.
     Relator,  Paul Perry, has  filed a complaint  for a writ  of
mandamus through which he seeks the following relief: 1)  Issue a
Writ of Mandamus directing respondents to comply with the laws and
statues (sic) and the Court ordered testing of all parties in this
paternity claim ;  2)   Issue a Writ  of Habeas  corpus (sic)  ad
testificandumdirecting the Court to have relator present in Court
for the final determination of relators (sic) claim of paternity ;
3)  Grant relator an award of having his case brought to a SPEEDY
final determination and ruling  and 4)  For such other relief  as
the Court deems just and proper.
     In order  for this court  to issue a  writ of mandamus,  the
relator must establish that: 1) the realtor possesses a clear legal
right to the relief requested; 2) the respondent possesses a clear
legal duty  to perform  the  requested act;  and 3)  the  relator
possesses no  plain and adequate  remedy at law.   State ex  rel.
Carter v. Wilkinson (1994),  70 Ohio St.3d 65.   In the case  sub
judice,  the relator has  failed to establish  each prong of  the
aforesaid  three-part test.   State,  ex rel  Bardo v.  Lyndhurst
(1988), 37 Ohio St.3d 106; State, ex rel Westchester Estates, Inc.
v. Bacon (1980), 37 Ohio St.2d 42.
     Accordingly, we grant  the respondents'  motion to  dismiss.
Costs to relator.
     Writ dismissed.
