Robinson v. McConahay
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing Appellant's complaint for a writ of habeas corpus against warden of the Mansfield Correctional Institution, holding that the petition was properly dismissed.
Since he was convicted in 1979 for numerous felony offenses Appellant had been released on parole and convicted of new crimes at least four times. In 2022, Appellant filed his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, arguing that his 1979 convictions were void. The court of appeals sua sponte dismissed the complaint on procedural grounds. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the court of appeals correctly dismissed the petition because Appellant did not comply with the mandatory filing requirements of Ohio Rev. Code 2725.04 and Ohio Rev. Code 2969.25.
