Ohio Supreme Court
State ex rel. King v. Lyons
August 19, 20262026 Ohio 3174
Summary
The court denied mandamus relief because the record affirmatively showed that the trial court set hearings, provided prosecutorial notice, and complied with the statutory requirements governing the sealing of three criminal case files. The court also held that the Rules of Superintendence did not control records sealed under statutes and that the record did not establish a constitutional violation in the trial court's individualized balancing of privacy and public-access interests.
