State ex rel. Roden v. Ohio Department of Rehabilitation & Correction
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing Appellant's petition for a writ of mandamus against the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC), holding that the court of appeals correctly dismissed Appellant's complaint for his failure to submit the statement of inmate account required by Ohio Rev. Code 2969.25(C)(1).
Appellant, an inmate, filed a petition seeking a writ of mandamus ordering the DRC to aggregate his prison terms "in a manner consistent with the law." The court of appeals dismissed the petition sua sponte because Appellant had failed to comply with section 2969.25(C)(1). On appeal, Appellant argued that he filed with his petition an inmate account statement that substantially with section 2969.25(C). The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that because section 2969.25(C) does not permit substantial compliance the court of appeals correctly dismissed Appellant's complaint.
