State ex rel. Harris v. Watson

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court granted a limited writ of mandamus ordering the prison to produce certain unaccounted‑for records, denied the relator’s motions to strike an affidavit, to impose sanctions, and to take judicial notice, dismissed his civil forfeiture claim for lack of jurisdiction, and awarded $3,000 in statutory damages and court costs. A concurring/dissenting opinion argued for a higher damages award.
