Ohio Supreme Court

Krouskoupf v. Muskingum Cty. Common Pleas Court

February 26, 2025178 Ohio St. 3d 334

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the Fifth District Court of Appeals’ dismissal of Harry H. Krouskoupf III’s mandamus petition, holding that a Court of Common Pleas is not sui juris and therefore cannot be sued, and that the petition failed to meet statutory filing requirements. The Court declined to address the merits of the underlying sentencing dispute.
