Ohio Supreme Court

State v. Heffley

June 2, 20262026 Ohio 1990

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court held that a trial court may grant relief under R.C. 2923.14 when the applicant’s Ohio conviction creates both state and federal firearms disabilities, because the single conviction does not make the applicant “otherwise prohibited by law.” The Court affirmed the appellate court’s judgment and remanded for the trial court to decide the merits of the application.
