State ex rel. Sands v. Kelly
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing Appellant's complaint for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel the Lake County Clerk of Courts to provide him with a record related to his criminal case, holding that the court of appeals correctly dismissed the complaint for failure to comply with Ohio Rev. Code 2929.25(A).
In affirming the judgment, the Supreme Court noted that it was undisputed that Appellant was an inmate and that the Clerk of Courts was a government employee. Therefore, Appellant was required to comply with section 2969.25(A). The Supreme Court held that the court of appeals was correct in finding that Appellant's affidavit failed to provide the information required by section 2969.25(A)(1).
