State ex rel. Bey v. Byrd
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals denying a writ of mandamus ordering the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts to produce various records relating to criminal proceedings against Parker Bey in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, holding that Bey was not entitled to relief.
Twice, the court of appeals denied Bey a writ of mandamus. After the first denial of the writ, the Supreme Court held that the court of appeals erred in applying the Ohio Rules of Superintendence as a basis for denying mandamus relief and remanded for a determination as to whether Bey was entitled to relief under the Public Records Act, Ohio Rev. Code 149.43. On remand, the court of appeals again denied the writ. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the court of appeals did not err in denying the writ.
