JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.:
     Sua sponte, Complaint for a Writ of Habeas Corpus is dismissed
for failure to comply with R.C. 2725.04(D) which requires that  a
copy of  the commitment or cause  of detention be submitted  when
applying for habeas relief or that a showing be made of the  fact
that a detention is without legal authority.  State ex rel. Wynn v.
McFaul (1998), 81 Ohio St.3d  193, 690 N.E.2d 7; Bloss v.  Rogers
(1992), 65 Ohio St.3d 145, 602 N.E.2d 602.
     In addition,  petitioner did not  name as  a respondent  the
person maintaining the  alleged illegal custody over him and  has
failed to provide this court with a detailed affidavit in support
of the complaint  as required by Loc.App.R. 45(B)(1)(a).   Again,
dismissal is warranted. State ex rel. Mancini v. Dunning (Mar. 16,
1999), Cuyahoga  App.  No. 76129-30,  unreported; State  ex  rel.
Rolling v. State of Ohio (Dec. 21, 1998), Cuyahoga App. No. 75696,
unreported.
     Accordingly, case is dismissed.  Costs to petitioner.
DYKE, J., and
ROCCO, J., CONCUR.
