No. 88-2068Supreme Court of Ohio.Submitted April 4, 1989 —
Decided June 14, 1989.

Mandamus — Dismissal of complaint affirmed.

APPEAL from the Court of Appeals for Summit County, No. 13826.

Page 176

Appellant, Leslie G. Cobb, was hired by appellee Babcock
Wilcox Company (“Babcock Wilcox”) in 1966. In late 1985, appellant received the first of several disciplinary sanctions for poor work performance. On June 17, 1986, appellant was discharged from Babcock Wilcox.

In June 1988, appellant filed a pro se lawsuit in the Summit County Court of Common Pleas. While the substance of appellant’s allegations is somewhat unclear, he apparently claimed violations of constitutional and civil rights as a result of his employment discharge. On September 16, 1988, the court granted Babcock
Wilcox’s motion to dismiss.

Appellant did not appeal the judgment entry of the court of common pleas but instead initiated a mandamus action on October 11, 1988 in the Court of Appeals for Summit County. Shortly thereafter, the appellate court sustained a motion to dismiss.

The cause is now before this court upon an appeal as a matter of right.
