Appellee Woods, in effect, asks the Court of Appeals to reaffirm its decision in Walker v. Stokes, supra, and, thereby, reverse an interlocutory order of the trial court. A proceeding in mandamus is not a substitute for an appeal and it is not a vehicle for review ,of an interlocutory order of a lower court. State, ex rel. Dargett, v. Gessaman (1973), 34 Ohio St. 2d 55; State, ex rel. Overmeyer, v. Walinski (1966), 8 Ohio St. 2d 23.

Appellee has an adequate remedy by way of appeal. The judgment of the Court of Appeals granting the writ is, therefore, reversed.

Judgment reversed.
