State ex rel. Bey v. Bureau of Sentence Computation
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing two complaints for writs of mandamus to compel the Bureau of Sentence Computation (BSC) and the Ohio Adult Parole Authority (APA) to produce public records, holding that the court of appeals did not err.
While he was an inmate, Appellant sent a public-records request to the BSC, which Appellant allegedly never responded to. After Appellant filed his complaint for a writ of mandamus he acknowledged receiving the requested documents but argued that he was entitled to statutory damages and court costs because the BSC did not timely produce the records. Appellant also filed a mandamus complaint challenging the APA's alleged lack of response to his public records request. The APA filed a motion to dismiss based on Appellant's alleged failure to comply with Ohio Rev. Code 2969.25(A). The court of appeals dismissed the cases for failure to comply with section 2969.25(A). The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the court of appeals correctly dismissed both mandamus complaints.
