State ex rel. Watkins v. Andrews
Annotate this CaseCharles Watkins, an inmate at North Central Correctional Complex, filed an original action in mandamus against the chief of the Adult Parole Authority and chair of the Parole Board (together, Appellees), arguing that Appellees failed to affirm him review of his parole. The court of appeals dismissed the complaint sua sponte because Watkins’s affidavit did not comply with Ohio Rev. Code 2969.25(A)(1). The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the court of appeals did not err by dismissing Watkins’s complaint sua sponte because it did not comply with the statute.
