State ex rel. McCaffrey v. Mahoning County Prosecutors Office
Annotate this CaseThis was a public-records mandamus action in which Relator, an attorney representing defendants in criminal cases, sought certain records from Respondents, the county prosecutor's office and the county prosecuting attorney. The Supreme Court granted the writ for a few of the requested records but denied the writ for the remaining requested records, holding (1) Relator, for the most part, did not establish his entitlement to the requested relief in mandamus for most of his requests; but (2) Relator established his entitlement to a writ of mandamus to compel Respondents to provide copies of those portions of the requested calendars of the prosecuting attorney and two assistant prosecuting attorneys that were work-related entries for the period of November 2008 to July 2010, as these portions of the requested calendars were records for purposes of Ohio Rev. Code 149.011(G) and 149.43 and Relator had not previously been provided with the requested records.
