SEAN C. GALLAGHER, J.:
 
     On June 12, 2003, relator, Charles J. Juliano, filed a
 
petition for a writ of habeas corpus asking this court to inquire
 
into his illegal solitary confinement at the Cuyahoga County Jail
 
and the conditions of the jail which, Juliano claims are adversely
 
affecting his health. For the following reasons, we sua sponte
 
dismiss the petition.
 
     Initially, we note that the petition is insufficient to
 
maintain an action in habeas corpus. Juliano's failure to attach
 
a copy of his commitment papers in accordance with R.C. 2725.04(D)
 
requires dismissal of his petition. State ex rel. Wynn v. McFaul
 
(1998), 81 Ohio St.3d 193, 690 N.E.2d 7; Boyd v. Money (1998), 82
 
Ohio St.3d 388, 696 N.E.2d 568; Bloss v. Rogers (1992), 65 Ohio
 
St.3d 145, 602 N.E.2d 602.
 
     We also note that Juliano failed to comply with R.C. 2969.25
 
which requires that he attach an affidavit that describes each
 
civil action or appeal filed by the relator within the previous
 
five years in any state or federal court. Juliano 's failure to
 
comply with R.C. 2969.25 is sufficient basis for dismissing the
 
petition. State ex rel. Zanders v. Ohio Parole Bd. (1988), 82 Ohio
 
St.3d 421, 696 N.E.2d 594; State ex rel. Alford v. Winters (1997),
 
80 Ohio St.3d 285, 685 N.E.2d 1242; In re: Woods (Apr. 26, 2001),
 
Cuyahoga App. No. 79467, at 1-2, quoted in Clark v. State (May 17,
 
2001), Cuyahoga App. No. 79584.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                               -3-
 
     Nevertheless, complaints regarding conditions of confinement
 
are not cognizable through actions in habeas corpus. See Jones v.
 
Engle (Oct. 22, 1979), Ross App. No. 698. We further note that
 
state prisoners challenging conditions of their confinement have an
 
adequate remedy by way of an action under Section 1983, Title 42,
 
U.S. Code. See State ex rel. Carter v. Schotten (1994), 70 Ohio
 
St.3d 89, 637 N.E.2d 306.
 
     Accordingly, we dismiss this action sua sponte. Relator to
 
pay costs. The clerk is directed to serve notice of this judgment
 
upon all parties as provided in Civ.R. 58(B).
 
     Writ dismissed.
