399 S.W.2d 307

Barnes v. Taylor

Court of Appeals of Kentucky

Decided December 10, 1965

Court of Appeals of Kentucky · decided 1965-12-10

Relies on Pruitt v. Davidson

Decided 1965-12-10

CLAY, Commissioner.

¶1The petitioner, proceeding in forma pau-peris, requests this Court to issue a writ of mandamus against respondent, an attorney at law, to require him to return to petitioner certain “personal property (legal documents)” which are allegedly in respondent’s possession.

¶2This relief must be denied for two reasons: (1) this Court does not have original jurisdiction to grant petitioner’s request (see Pruitt v. Davidson, Ky., 334 S.W.2d 899), and (2) the personal property sought is not sufficiently identified to justify granting any relief.

¶3The order of mandamus is denied.
