State ex rel. Ware v. Wine
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court granted in part and denied in part a writ of mandamus requested by Relator, an inmate at the Trumbull Correctional Institution, against Respondents, including Anthony Davis, (collectively, TCI) seeking production of records responsive to six public-records requests he sent in June 2021, holding that Relator was entitled, in part, to mandamus.
By way of six messages, Relator requested four records. As to the first record, the Supreme Court denied mandamus on the ground that Relator failed to establish that Davis was the custodian of the record in question. As to the remaining three requested records, the Supreme Court held that TCI breached a statutory obligation to provide Relator with the records. The Court then awarded Relator $3,000 in statutory damages, holding that Relator satisfied the method-of-transmission requirement for an award of statutory damages.
