Opinion
No. 30,956.
Filed October 2, 1967.
MANDAMUS AND PROHIBITION — Rules of Supreme Court — Change of Venue. — Where relator in seeking a change of venue has failed to file copies of the pleadings, orders and entries sufficient to fairly present the question raised and has not conformed to Supreme Court Rule 2-35, the prayer for an alternative writ will be denied.
Original action by Charles A. Morrison who seeks to have his motion for a change of venue from the court granted.
Writ denied.
Mario B. Tomsich and Gerald N. Svetanoff, both of Gary, for the Relator.
George Krstovich, of Gary, for the Respondents.
The relator has filed in this Court, a petition requesting this Court to mandate the Juvenile Court of Lake County to grant relator's motion for a change of venue from the county.
The remedy requested is an unusual one that should be sparingly meted out. Strict compliance with the Rules of this Court is imperative when a petitioner seeks this extraordinary relief in a unilateral hearing.
The relator has failed to file copies of the pleadings, orders, and entries sufficient to fairly present the questions raised, and has not conformed to Supreme Court Rule No. 2-35 (1964). (emphasis ours) State ex rel. Dean v. Tipton Circuit Court (1962), 242 Ind. 642, 181 N.E.2d 230.
This Court did not grant a temporary writ and the prayer for an alternative writ of mandate is hereby denied.
NOTE. — Reported in 229 N.E.2d 823.
