Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals’ dismissal of a mandamus complaint because the inmate failed to list an appeal of a civil action in the affidavit required by R.C. 2969.25(A). The Court held that strict compliance with the statute is mandatory regardless of whether the underlying civil action is disclosed.
