Ohio Supreme Court

State ex rel. Duncan v. Chambers-Smith

March 25, 2025178 Ohio St. 3d 351

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that Duncan is not entitled to a writ of mandamus because alleged errors in jail‑time credit calculation are not cognizable in mandamus, an internal DRC policy does not create a legal duty enforceable in mandamus, and his new claim for a final judgment entry was not raised in the complaint and lacks merit.
