State ex rel. Castellon v. Cuyahoga Cty. Prosecutor's Office

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court denied the relator’s writ of mandamus because the prosecutor had produced all records responsive to his public‑records request, and it also denied his claims for statutory damages, court costs, and attorney fees. The Court held that the relator failed to meet the clear‑and‑convincing‑evidence burden and that the request for grand‑jury minutes was abandoned. A concurring/dissenting opinion argued for statutory damages, but the majority’s decision stands.
