State ex rel. Alford v. Winters
Decision Date | 19 November 1997 |
Docket Number | No. 97-992,97-992 |
Parties | The STATE ex rel. ALFORD, Appellant, v. WINTERS, Judge, Appellee. |
Court | Ohio Supreme Court |
Larry S. Alford, pro se.
Maureen O'Connor, Summit County Prosecuting Attorney, and Paul Michael Maric, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellee.
We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals for the reasons stated in its opinion. Alford failed to comply with the mandatory requirements of R.C. 2969.25(C) in commencing his mandamus action. 1 Alford does not contend that R.C. 2969.25 is inapplicable to mandamus actions. State ex rel. Wright v. Ohio Adult Parole Auth. (1996), 75 Ohio St.3d 82, 85, 661 N.E.2d 728, 731, quoting R.C. 2731.09 (); cf. Martin v. United States (C.A.7, 1996), 96 F.3d 853, 854 ( ). The court of appeals' dismissal of Alford's complaint was further justified because habeas corpus, rather than mandamus, is the appropriate action for persons claiming entitlement to immediate release from prison. State ex rel. Lemmon v. Ohio Adult Parole Auth. (1997), 78 Ohio St.3d 186, 188, 677 N.E.2d 347, 349 ( ).
Judgment affirmed.
