State ex rel. Davis v. Sheldon
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing Appellant's petition for a writ of habeas corpus against Warden Ed Sheldon of the Allen-Oakwood Correctional Institution, holding that the court of appeals properly dismissed the petition.
Appellant, an inmate, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus alleging that he had served his entire prison sentence. The court of appeals dismissed the habeas corpus petition for failure to comply with Ohio Rev. Code 2725.04(D), which requires a habeas petition to contain a copy of the commitment or cause of detention. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that where Appellant failed to attach all sentencing records to his habeas corpus petition, the court of appeals properly dismissed the petition.
