State ex rel. Stuart v. Greene
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court denied Keontae Stuart's request for a writ of mandamus to compel Larry Greene, the public-records custodian for the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, to provide Stuart with a document from his public-records request, holding that because Greene eventually did provide a redacted copy of the document to Stuart, this aspect of the case was moot.
In his merit brief, Stuart did not challenge the propriety of the redactions but, instead, argued that he was entitled to statutory damages due to Greene's alleged failure to make the record available promptly. The Supreme Court denied Stuart's request for a writ of mandamus compelling the payment of statutory damages, holding that, as a pro se litigant, Stuart was ineligible for an award of attorney fees. The Court also granted Greene's request to keep the supplemental notice sealed to keep the information confidential.
