Opinion
No. 91-214
Submitted May 21, 1991 —
Decided August 28, 1991.
APPEAL from the Court of Appeals for Portage County, No. 90-P-2166.
On March 14, 1990, relator-appellant, Robert K. Donovan, filed a complaint in mandamus in the Court of Appeals for Portage County, seeking certain public records from respondents, the Portage County Sheriff's Department and its sheriff. On that date, he also filed a "motion to proceed in forma pauperis." On November 20, 1990, the court of appeals denied the motion.
The cause is before this court on appeal as of right.
Robert K. Donovan, pro se.
We hold that the order denying appellant's motion to proceed in forma pauperis is not a final appealable order. See State, ex rel. Blevins, v. Mowrey (1989), 45 Ohio St.3d 20, 24, 543 N.E.2d 99, 103. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
Appeal dismissed.
MOYER, C.J., SWEENEY, HOLMES, WRIGHT, H. BROWN and RESNICK, JJ., concur.
