Opinion
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals denying appellant Gregory Smith DeDonno’s request for a writ of mandamus to compel appellee, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Lance T. Mason, to issue a final, appealable order in a civil case instituted by DeDonno.
{¶ 2} Judge Mason acted within his discretion to dismiss the case because of DeDonno’s failure to comply with a court order. See Civ.R. 41(B)(1). The action was dismissed without prejudice, which, by rule, is not a final, appealable order. See Civ.R. 41(B)(3). “Ordinarily, a dismissal ‘other than on the merits’ does not prevent a party from refiling and, therefore, ordinarily, such a dismissal is not a final, appealable order.” Natl. City Commercial Capital Corp. v. AAAA At Your Service, Inc., 114 Ohio St.3d 82, 2007-Ohio-2942, 868 N.E.2d 663, ¶ 8. Extraordinary relief in mandamus is thus not available.
Judgment affirmed.
