State ex rel. Young v. Clipper
Annotate this CaseAppellant, an inmate at Lorain Correctional Institution, sent Appellee, the warden of the institution, a public-records request to copy and inspect the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction employee rules of conduct. Appellant asserted that the requests were ignored. Appellant subsequently petitioned the court of appeals for a writ of mandamus against Appellee. The court of appeals dismissed the claim, finding that Appellant had failed to comply with Ohio Rev. Code 2969.25(C). Appellant filed a Ohio R. Civ. P. 60(B) motion seeking leave to amend his complaint, which the court also denied. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the court of appeals did not err in (1) dismissing the complaint due to Appellant’s failure to comply with section 2969.25; and (2) denying Appellant’s Rule 60(B) motion, as the failure to comply with the mandatory requirements of section 2969.25(C) is not curable by subsequent amendment.
