Syllabus

Because the Ohio Constitution permits all appellate courts to exercise original jurisdiction over mandamus actions and because the statutes governing mandamus actions do not impose a territorial limitation on that jurisdiction, we have jurisdiction in this original action for a writ of mandamus. But because the action sought by the petitioner would take place outside this district, we find that venue is more appropriate in the district where the mandamus writ would be executed and therefore transfer the case to the Fourth District Court of Appeals.
