DECISION AND JUDGMENT ENTRYThis matter is before the court on the petition of relator, Dale A. Martin, Jr., who requests that we grant him a writ of mandamus ordering respondents, Reginald Wilkinson, Director, Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction and the Adult Parole Authority, to credit him with an additional two hundred and twenty-three days of jail-time credit.

Civ.R. 3(B) states that a cause of action can properly be brought in any of the following counties:

(1) The county in which the defendant resides;

(2) The county in which the defendant has his or her principal place of business;

(3) A county in which the defendant conducted activity that gave rise to the claim for relief;

(4) A county in which a public officer maintains his or her principal office if suit is brought against the officer in the officer's official capacity;

* * *

"(6) The county in which all or part of the claim for relief arose, * * *."

In this case, the proper venue for relator's action is Franklin County. State ex. rel. Crim v. Adult Parole Authority (May 27, 1998), Lucas App. No. L-98-1074, unreported. Therefore, based on the authority of Crim, we transfer this case to the Tenth District Court of Appeals. All supplemental paperwork is also transferred to the Tenth District Court of Appeals.
