Per Curiam.
{¶ 1} We affirm the court of appeals' judgment dismissing the petition of appellant, La'Mon R. Akemon Jr., for a writ of mandamus to compel appellee, Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas Judge Jody M. Luebbers, to direct the clerk of the common pleas court to serve him with notice of a decision and judgment entry in the underlying case so that he can file an appeal.
{¶ 2} Even if the judge did not direct the proper service of the judgment on Akemon, “he is not entitled to the requested extraordinary relief in mandamus, because he has or had adequate remedies in the ordinary course of law by delayed appeal and motion for relief from judgment to raise such a claim.” State ex rel. Halder v. Fuerst, 118 Ohio St.3d 142, 2008–Ohio–1968, 886 N.E.2d 849, ¶ 7; see also State ex rel. Ahmed v. Costine, 103 Ohio St.3d 166, 2004–Ohio–4756, 814 N.E.2d 865, ¶ 5. Contrary to Akemon's assertion, our holding in State ex rel. Sautter v. Grey, 117 Ohio St.3d 465, 2008–Ohio–1444, 884 N.E.2d 1062, does not require a different result.
Judgment affirmed.
PER CURIAM.
