State ex rel. Luikart v. Washington Court House

January 20, 20262026 Ohio 111

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court denied Luikart’s mandamus petition as moot, awarded him $1,000 in statutory damages, and held that his 45 email requests sent on a single day constitute one transmission, that the requests were not related to his criminal case and thus not subject to R.C. 149.43(G), and that reasonableness of response time is measured from the request date.
