The opinion
Per Curiam.
Our review of the record indicates that claimant did not seek administrative rehearing of the commission’s order as permitted by Ohio Adm.Code 4121-3-20(G). As a general rule, failure to exhaust available administrative remedies precludes issuance of a writ of mandamus in a VSSR action. State, ex rel. Bailey, v. Indus. Comm. (1991), 62 Ohio St.3d 191 , 580 N.E.2d, 1081 . Cf. State, ex rel. Cotterman, v. St. Marys Foundry (1989), 46 Ohio St.3d 42 , 544 N.E.2d 887 .
For this reason, the judgment of the court of appeals is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
Moyer, C.J., Sweeney, Holmes, Douglas, Wright, H. Brown and Resnick, JJ., concur.
