STATE EX REL. PORTER v. CLEVELAND DEPT. OF PUB. SAFETY

No. 98-1140.

84 Ohio St.3d 258 (1998)

THE STATE EX REL. PORTER, APPELLANT, v. CLEVELAND DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY ET AL., APPELLEES.

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided December 30, 1998.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Paul Porter, pro se.

Sylvester Summers, Jr., Cleveland Director of Law, Joseph J. Jerse, Chief Assistant Director of Law, and Anthony N. Palombo, Assistant Director of Law, for respondents.

Per Curiam.

Porter asserts in his propositions of law that the court of appeals erred in dismissing his complaint for a writ of mandamus. For the reasons that follow, Porter's claims lack merit.

First, as the court of appeals correctly held, appellees did not have a clear legal duty under R.C. 149.43 to transmit copies of the requested records to Porter in prison by mail or other means.
