Syllabus

Mandamus; Civ.R. 10(A); R.C. 2731.04; moot. It is well settled that the failure to properly caption a mandamus action is sufficient grounds for denying the writ. In addition, R.C. 2731.04 provides that an application for a writ of mandamus must be brought in the name of the state on the relation of the person applying. Finally, relief is unwarranted because the request for a writ of mandamus is moot. This court will not compel the performance of a duty that has already been performed.
