State ex rel. Sandy v. Spatny

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court denied the relator’s petition for a writ of mandamus, holding that he failed to show clear and convincing evidence of a legal right to the specific medication‑assisted treatment he desired or that the warden had a legal duty to provide it, and that he possessed an adequate ordinary‑law remedy. The court also affirmed that creating a duty enforceable by mandamus is a legislative function, not a judicial one.
