SEARS, Justice.
The appellant, Inyang Peter Oduok, appeals from an adverse ruling on his petition for a writ of mandamus and prohibition. In that petition, Oduok raised numerous issues concerning his pending criminal prosecution, and sought, among other things, the dismissal of the prosecution. Because Oduok has an adequate remedy at law — his pending criminal trial and any appeal therefrom if he is convicted — in which to raise the issues he raised in his petition for writ of mandamus and prohibition, the trial court properly denied that petition. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court's decision.
See Jersawitz v. Riley, 269 Ga. 546, 547 ( 500 S.E.2d 579) (1998); Holmes v. Board of Commissioners, 271 Ga. 206 ( 517 S.E.2d 788) (1999).
Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur, except Hines, J., not participating.
