Opinion

Per Curiam.

{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the petition of appellant, Rayshon Watley, for a writ of mandamus to compel appellee, Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge Beverly Pfeiffer, to file an action Watley describes as a “1983 civil action.” Watley, who has been declared to be a vexatious litigator, did not seek leave of the court of appeals to proceed with filing his mandamus action, and the court of appeals was thus required to dismiss the action. R.C. 2323.52(F)(2) and (I); State ex rel. Sapp v. Franklin Cty. Court of Appeals, 118 Ohio St.3d 368, 2008-Ohio-2637, 889 N.E.2d 500, ¶ 19-20.

Judgment affirmed.

Moyer, C.J., and Pfeifer, Lundberg Stratton, O’Connor, O’Donnell, Lanzinger, and Cupp, JJ., concur.
