ANNE L. KILBANE, J.:
     Robert D. Pursley has filed a complaint for a writ of mandamus
to obtain an order from this court which requires Judge Christopher
A. Boyko to correct the amount of jail time credit in the
underlying action of State v. Pursley, Cuyahoga County Court of
Common Pleas Case No. CR-400385. The judge moved to dismiss. We
grant the motion to dismiss.
     This court will not issue an extraordinary writ in order to
correct any alleged error in the calculation of jail time credit.
Such error must be addressed through an appeal.1
     In addition, we find that Pursley's complaint for a writ of
mandamus is defective since it is improperly captioned. The
petition must be brought in the name of the state, on relation of
the person applying, and the failure to properly caption warrants
dismissal.2
     Pursley has also failed to support his complaint with an
affidavit "specifying the details of the claim"as required by Loc.
App.R. 45(B)(1)(a).3 Finally, he has failed to comply with R.C.

2969.25 which requires an affidavit that describes each civil
action or appeal filed by him within the previous five years in any
state or federal court. This failure to comply with R.C. 2969.25
warrants the dismissal of his complaint for a writ of mandamus.4
    Accordingly, we grant Judge Boyko 's motion to dismiss the
complaint for a writ of mandamus. Costs to Pursley. It is further
ordered that the Clerk of the Eighth District Court of Appeals
serve upon all parties notice of this judgment and the date of its
entry as mandated by Civ.R. 58(B).
    Dismissed.
