ANN DYKE, J.:
     {q1}      Sua Sponte, we dismiss the petitioner's complaint,
as filed on April 15, 2002, which requests that this court issue a
writ of coram nobis against respondent, William D. Mason.  Mr. Lutz
asserts that he was wrongfully convicted because the court lacked
subject-matter jurisdiction and  other causes of void judgment  in
State v. Lutz, Cuyahoga Court of Common Pleas, Case Nos.  403228,
404605 and 405399.
     {q2}      Coram nobis is  a procedural writ that is used  to
correct errors of  fact.  However,  it is not  part of Ohio  law.
State  v.  Perry (1967),  10  Ohio  St.2d 175,  226  N.E.2d  104.
Accordingly, Lutz's claim for a  writ of coram nobis is not  well
founded in this court.
     {q3}  A  further review  of  the  complaint  indicates  that
petitioner is attempting  to file a petition for post  conviction
relief.  Such  petition is governed by  R.C. 2953.21 and must  be
filed in the court that imposed the sentence and not with the court
of appeals.
     {q4}  Accordingly,  we  dismiss  this  action  sua   sponte.
Petitioner to pay costs.  The clerk is directed to serve notice of
this judgment upon all parties as provided in Civ.R. 58(B).
                               -3-
     Writ Dismissed.
