David R. Coy is asking this court to issue a writ of mandamus to compel the Court Diagnostic & Treatment Center (“center”) to release a copy of a report of the results of a mental competence evaluation that was performed on Coy at the center. Sixth Dist.Loc.App.R. 6 provides: “An original action, other than habeas corpus, shall be instituted by the filing of an original and three copies of a complaint. The petitioner or relator shall also file a praecipe directing the clerk of the court of appeals to serve a copy of the complaint on each other party at the addresses listed in the praecipe.” (Emphasis added.) No praecipe was filed by *780 Coy. Accordingly, this court orders Coy’s petition for mandamus dismissed for failure to comply with Sixth Dist.Lo.c.App.R. 6. Costs to petitioner Coy.

Petition dismissed.
