State ex rel. Wright v. Franklin Cty. Mun. Court

Summary

The Supreme Court of Ohio, per curiam, affirmed the Tenth District's dismissal of Ramone Wright's petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel the Franklin County Municipal Court to vacate a prior, unidentified conviction. The court held that by failing to object to the magistrate's decision recommending dismissal for noncompliance with R.C. 2969.25(A), Wright waived all but plain-error review. Because Wright's affidavit of prior civil filings consisted only of an unsigned, unnotarized title page omitting at least eight prior civil actions, and nothing approached the exceptional circumstances plain error requires, the Tenth District did not plainly err in dismissing the petition.
