State ex rel. Manley v. Walsh
Annotate this CaseAppellant brought an original action for a writ of mandamus against his former employers, the Summit County prosecutor and the County (collectively, the County), alleging that the County did not compensate him in accordance with established pay scales for his position and seeking payment of “an amount to cover back pay losses.” The court of appeals denied the writ and also denied Appellant’s motion for sanctions. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) Appellant’s right to back pay was not so clear as to justify issuance of the extraordinary writ of mandamus, and therefore, the court of appeals correctly determined that Appellant failed to carry his burden of proof; and (2) the appellate court did not abuse its discretion in denying Appellant’s motion for sanctions.
