Ohio Supreme Court
State ex rel. Clark v. Dept. of Rehab. & Corr.
August 25, 20262026 Ohio 3270
Summary
The court granted a limited mandamus writ concerning the requested proposal submitted for ODRC's food-services contract and otherwise denied relief. Clark failed to establish that ODRC possessed certain requested records, that the body-camera footage still existed, or that ODRC violated a duty by permitting inspection of surveillance footage, providing the employee roster, or supplying the recreation schedule current when ODRC responded. The court deferred statutory-damages determination as to the limited writ and denied damages for the other requests.
