Ohio Supreme Court

State ex rel. Teagarden v. Igwe

December 10, 2024178 Ohio St. 3d 591

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court granted a writ of mandamus in part, ordering the prison librarians to provide a copy of the LexisNexis sign‑in sheet, denied the writ for the recreation schedules, medical protocols and policy index, awarded $1,000 in statutory damages for the denied sign‑in‑sheet request, and denied court‑costs. Concurring and dissenting judges argued that the writ should have been granted for all requests and that higher damages were warranted.
