Thompson filed a writ of mandamus against Sheriff Paulk to require Paulk to provide him with copies of records of Thompson’s treatment by a mental health professional while Thompson was incarcerated in the Lowndes County Jail. The trial court granted Paulk’s motion for summary judgment and we affirm.

Mandamus is available only when the petitioner has a clear legal right to the relief sought and lacks an adequate legal remedy. Hall v. Madison, 263 Ga. 73, 74 (428 SE2d 345) (1993). Paulk concedes that Thompson has a right to the records under OCGA § 37-3-167 (a). He has not, however, availed himself of the procedures established by Paulk under Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 290-4-6-.05 (3) (b) and (5) (1991) 1 and therefore, he has not met his burden of showing that he *480 lacks an adequate legal remedy. Therefore, the trial court did not err in granting summary judgment to Paulk.

Judgment affirmed.
