Ohio Supreme Court

State ex rel. Mobley v. Witt

March 18, 2025178 Ohio St. 3d 338

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court denied Alphonso Mobley Jr.’s request for a writ of mandamus compelling the Fairfield County Prosecuting Attorney to produce cashbook and certified‑report records, and also denied his claims for statutory damages, court costs, and the prosecutor’s motion for sanctions. The court held that Mobley failed to meet the clear‑and‑convincing‑evidence burden showing the records existed, that the prosecutor complied with the Public Records Act, and that no damages or sanctions were warranted.
