Syllabus

The trial court properly granted OPD's motion to dismiss White's complaint pursuant to Civ.R. 12(B)(1) and (6). White failed to allege he had an attorney-client relationship with the OPD and therefore dismissal of his claims pursuant to Civ.R. 12(B)(6) was proper. Furthermore, the Court of Claims lacks subject-matter jurisdiction over any purported constitutional claims and therefore such claims were properly dismissed pursuant to Civ.R. 12(B)(1). The judgment of the Court of Claims is affirmed.
