State ex rel. Clark v. Ohio Dept. of Rehab. & Corr.

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court denied the relator’s writ of mandamus and his request for statutory damages because he failed to demonstrate that he made proper public‑records requests to the appropriate custodian. The Court granted limited leave to file rebuttal evidence for exhibits 2‑A, 2‑B, and 2‑C, but denied the remaining exhibits. The decision rests on the statutory requirements of R.C. 149.43 and the relator’s burden of clear‑and‑convincing evidence.
