SEPARATE MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT

Now before this instant Most Honorable Ohio Supreme Court, is the petitioner,

Mr. Stefoun D. Huntex, as afore, and hereby submits his CAUSE for the instant Emer-

gency Writ of Habeas Corpus Action.

4#(1),First and Foremost, the petitioner hereof, would state that he has previous-

ly presented his instant claim to the Local Madison County Court of Common Pleas,for

considPxation of the issues raised herein. The Modison County Common Pleas Court, has

by virtue of acts to the best of the petitioner's knowledge and belief, constitute act's

which DEPRIVE the petitioner of his Appellate Procedural Due Process Rights to Appeal

the ERRONEOUS TERMINATION of the petitioner's State Extraordinary Writ of Habeas Cor.-

pus Action.

q #(2),The Madison County Court of Common Pleas, as mentioned above, has deliberately

setfort it's Erroneous Termination of the petitioner's Writ of Habeas Cor.pus Action, &

knowingly failed to afford to the petitioner,the Habeas Ct's., FINDINGS OF FACTS AND CON-

CLUSIONS OF LAW, AS PART OF THE MADISON COUNTYHABEAS Ct's, judgment of Termination of

the petitioner's habeas corpus action. This being an effort to wrongfully deprive the

petitioner of his rights to REVIEW of the trial Ct's., Erroneous Termination of his Hab-

eas Corpus Petition, by the TweAh Appellate District Court ofAppeals, Moreover., the

Madison County Habeas Corpus Ct., deliberately and maliciously with malice aforethought,

zvithheld it's Erroneous Termination of the petitioner.'s Habeas Corpus Action, by failing

to give cause to it's Clerk of Court, to timely forward to the petitioner, by U.S. mail,

said Erroneous Termination, until the time in which the petitioner hereof, could ncw, seek

the Madison County Habeas Ct's., FINDINGS OFFACTS AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, according to

the applicable rules of cour.t.Ther.e and by the same, depriving the petitioner of a final

appealable Order, in which to proceed to the appeals court as r.equired via the appellate

court rule of procedure. P.(2)

Habeas Ct's., Findings of Facts and Conclusions of law, at pages

( .5 and 6 )hereof.

11#(3),The petitioner hPxeof, would further state that the Habeas Ct., of Madison

Co., prior to it's entering of the aforementioned Er.r.oneous Termination of the pe-

titioner's Habeas Corpus Action, failed to come to judgment on the various mot-

ions in which the petitioner had filed seeking relief from the Malicious Miscon-

duct.,violative of the petitioner's State and Feder.al Constitutional Rights,Notwith-

standing, the various Pr.ohibitedConduct/as listed under. Rule (8.4)MISCONDUCT; of

the Ohio Supreme Court Rules of Pr.ofession3l Conduct. Whereas the Respondent and

her. Attorney of r.ecord one Maura O'Neill Jaite (0058524), being the Assis*_a.nt ST.,

Attorney General, assigned to represent the Respondent, one Mrs. Deborah T. Cooper,

Warden-L:O.C.I.-Pr.ison, as the Two Respondents had engaged in conduct to the best

of the petitioner's knowledge and belief, constituted an illegal SHAM LEGAL PROCESS

by way of a CONSPIRACY to illegally deprive the petitioner of the Habeas Corpus re-

lief, in which he was and is clearly entitled to by law and his State and Federal

Constitutional Rights, aforementioned herein.

1I#(4), After the petitioner's filing of his State Writ of Habeas Corpus Action in

the Madison Co., Cthse, on (03/02/12), The Ct., of the case subjudice, appar.ently

ordered the Return of Writ, via the respondent, accordingt_o the Habeas Rules. The

respondent's return of Writ, to be brief, and to the b^st of the petitioner's know-

ledge, is what constitutes the above mentioned SHAM LEGAL PROCESS AND CONSPIRACY,

mentioned above, SEE: SAID ILLEGAL, UNETHICAL, MALICIOUS, RESPONDENT'S RE7URN OF

4#(1)7'he petitioner has cause to believe according to law, that +1ze

Legal & Constitutional E.Efec+s of the Second District Court of Appeals-Judge-

ment, as was pronounced and journalized on (12/09/11), rendered the pctition-

er's conviction & sentences imposed by the trial Ct, at Mon*_gomc.ry Co., for

the aforementioned Gun Spec's & Weapons Under Disability, Void ab Initio, Due

to the Reversal of the petitioner's convictions for the same. To the best of

the petitioner's knowledge and belief, the Ruling of the Second Appellate Dist-

rict Court of Appeals, was based upon the Plain Error, Doctrine, In which Crim-

inal Rule (52) (B) was applicable and or administred by the (2nd)Appellate.Dist.

Ct., of App., as Criminal Rule (52)(B) States in pertinent part that:

PLAIN ERRORS OR DEFECTS AFFECT`ING SOBSTANTIAL RIGHTS

MAY BE NOTICED ALTHOUGH THEY WERE NOT BRODGEII' TO THE

A7TENTION OF THE COUR'f.

it#(2),The pei-itioner hereof, would logically come to the prudent minded

conclusion that the Second Appellate District Court of Appeals, in +heir decis-

ion making process, must have considered +he "PLAIN ERROR ANALYSIS" when they

concluded that the trial Court's finding.^+ha+_ weapons found in the home were

found in plain view during a lawful search for PERSONS is predicated upon a Mis-

take of fact +hat we cannot find to have been HARMi.RSg.°SEE": page ((2)of the

Opinion of +he (2nd)Appellate Dist. Ct., of Appeals, UNDERLINED herein, for the

ins+ant Madison County Ct's, consideration of +he saipe.

II#(3),The petitioncr's conviction for the aforementioned wcapons charges

did not stand accordingly, it would be FUTILE and a CLEAR ABUSE OF THE MONTGOMERY

CO., COURT'S;,descretion, to allow the Sta+^e of Ohio, at Montgomery Co., to prose-

cute the petitioncr once again, in light of +he Ruling of the (2nd) Appellate.Dist.

Ct., of Appeals, as a subsequent defensive motion to suppress, would ultimately

Page 13: 12-1308 - sconet.state.oh.us Mr.Stefoun D. Hunter, ... eas Corpus Petition, ... titioner's Habeas Corpus Action, failed to come to judgment on the various mot-

P.(5-C)

prevail in connection to the suppression of the weapons seized, due

to the unconstitutionality of the search executed as aforemention by the (2nd)

Dist. Ct., of Appeals, in their Opinion, journalized on (12/09/11). Moreover,

and most certianly, the defense would with out doubt, file a pretrial motion

OBJECTING to the defects in the indictment, information, and or complaint, in

the institution of the prosecution via Criminal Rule (12)(C)sub S's (1)+hr.u(4).

11#(4), 7'HII2E@'ORE AND IN CONCLUSION,

The petitioner would state that reasqnable prudent minded Juris, con-

sidering the Facts, Evidence and Constitutional ramifications and law, involved

in the case at hand, could come to but one (1), conclusion and +1hat conclusion

being that petitioner is in fact being held beyond the term of imprisonment as

imposed by the trial Ct., in and for Montgomery County, inlight of the affects

of the aforementioned Judgement, Ruling and Journalization of its Opinion, enter-

ed of recor.d, on (12/09/11)yBy way of the ( 2nd) AppPllate Dis*xict Ct., of Appeals.

4#(5),Moreove.r., the State of Ohio, at Montgomery Co., Dayton-Ohio, as the

appellee's in the petitioner's appeal of the aforementioned criminal case and con-

viction aforementioned herein, above, HAD (30) days inwhich to Appeal, the judge-

ment of the (2nd) Dis+xict. Court of Appeal, and did not do so, ther.eandby+_hesame,

has Waived their right to do so. The decision of the Second Appellate District Ct.,

of Appeals, Must Stand for Evermore, and in favor of the petitioner herein, as is

relied on by the petitioner herein, for all practical reasons regarding the instant

Madison County Court's consideration of the facts of the instant case at bar.

FAIN, J.

Defendant-appellant Stefoun D. Hunter appeals from his three convictions for

Having Weapons Under Disability, a third-degree felony, in violation of R.C. 2923.13(A)(3);

three convictions for Possession of Cocaine, one fourth- and two fifth-degree felonies, in

THE COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIOtA` (1 V^^^ SECOND APPELLA'IE DISTRICT

Page 26: 12-1308 - sconet.state.oh.us Mr.Stefoun D. Hunter, ... eas Corpus Petition, ... titioner's Habeas Corpus Action, failed to come to judgment on the various mot-

violation of R.C. 2925.11(A); one conviction for Possession of Heroin, a fifth-degree felony,

in violation of R.C. 2925.11(A); and one conviction for Possession of Marijuana, a fifth-

degree felony, in violation of R.C. 2925.11 (C)(3)(c). The jury also found Hunter guilty of

firearm specifications with respect to each drug conviction; the firearm specifications were

all merged for sentencing purposes. Hunter was sentenced to four years in prison.

Hunter contends that the trial court erred when it denied his motion to suppress

evidence obtained during the initial search of the residence.

We conclude that the police officers lawfully entered the residence without a

warrant, based upon anonymous 9-1-1 reports that a person was being held captive in the

residence, corroborated by the occupants of the residence ignoring the responding police

officers' repeated attempts to gain their attention and, after finally answering the door,

immediately attempting to close the door.

But we also conclude that the trial court's finding that weapons found in the home

were found in plain view during a lawful search for persons is predicated upon a mistake

of fact that we cannot find to have been harmless. The trial court found that the weapons

were found under a bed where a victim might have been; in fact, the weapons were found

between the bed's box springs and mattress. Accordingly, Hunter's convictions for Having

Weapons Under a Disability and his conviction for firearm specifications with respect to his

-V other convictions are Reversed; his convictions for Possession of Cocaine, Heroin, and

Marijuana are Affirmed; and this cause is Remanded for re-determination of the

suppression motion with respect to the weapons. if the trial court should again deny the

motion to suppress, it may re-enter the judgment of conviction with respect to the weapons

offenses.

I n early December2009, a caller reported hearing six gunshots immediately followed

by three men running into 5150 Northcutt Place in north Dayton, Ohio. The call was placed

to the Montgomery County Sheriffs Office 9-1-1 Dispatch Center. The call was received

from a cell phone that was either not activated or out of minutes; consequently, there was

no way to trace the call. The caller refused to give a name. The call was received at 6:51

p.m.

Four minutes later, Deputy Sheriff Walt Steele and his partner, Deputy Sheriff Kyle

Biryani, were dispatched and arrived at the scene at 7:00 p.m. Deputy Sheriff Anthony

Hutson, Herb Thornton, and Fred Zollers were also dispatched as back-up.

Deputy Hutson and his reserve partner were the first on the scene. When they

arrived, the front door was closed and there was a light on inside the residence. Deputy

Hutson positioned his partner at the front door as he went to the rear door because that is

where the three men had supposedly run into the residence. Deputy Hutson knocked at

the rear door between fifteen and twenty times. Individuals inside the residence, instead

of answering the door, responded by turning up the volume on either a television or radio.

Deputy Hutson continued to knock on the rear door. Shortly thereafter, Deputy Thornton

joined him.

Then, at7:11 p.m., another9-1-1 callfrom a deactivated ordepleted-minutes phone

came into the Montgomery County Sheriffs 9-1-1 Dispatch Center. There was no

indication given to the Dispatch Officer that it was the same person who made the initial

report. The caller identified himself as "Shawn Parker" and gave a personal cell-phone

number, but explained that it was "not in service." Parker stated that he had received a text

message from his son that the individuals inside the residence had tried to rob him and that

he was being held against his will in a closet upstairs, where he could see the police

officers. After this information was relayed to officers at the scene, Deputy Hutson noticed

someone looking out a window, rapidly pulling their head back inside the window, and

abruptly closing the window. Deputy Hutson continued to knock at the rear door, louder

in order to overpower the increased volume of either the television or radio. Meanwhile,

Deputy Zollers began to evacuate the surrounding residences.

At about 7:30 p.m., a man opened the rear door. Deputy Hutson, with his weapon

drawn, began to explain why he was knocking; before he could complete his explanation,

the man abruptly began to close the door. Deputies Hutson and Thornton forced their way

into the apartment. Deputy Thornton began securing the man who answered the door.

Deputy Hutson continued into the residence and found six men sifting on a coach and

another man in the stairwell. Other deputies also entered the residence and secured both

the man in the stairwell and another man from upstairs. No hostages or firearms were

found in the initial search, but marijuana and a flak jacket were found in plain view in the

residence. During a second search, a sergeant found a shotgun rifle and several hand

guns between a mattress and a box spring while searching for the reported captive

underneath a bed.

A search warrant was then obtained, leading to the discovery of additional evidence.

Hunter was arrested and charged by indictment with three Possession of Cocaine

offenses, one Possession of Heroin offense, one Possession of Marijuana offense, and

three Having Weapons Under a Disability offenses. The drug charges all included firearm

specifications.

Hunter moved to suppress the evidence obtained from the residence, contending

that it was obtained as the result of an unlawful search and seizure. Following a hearing,

his motion was denied.

Following a jury trial, Hunter was convicted of all charges and specifications, and

was sentenced accordingly. From his conviction and sentence, Hunter appeals.

Hunter's sole assignment of error is as follows:

"THE TRIAL COURT ERRED TO THE PREJUDICE OF THE APPELLANT WHEN

IT IMPROPERLY DENIED THE DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO SUPPRESS EVIDENCE

OBTAINED IN VIOLATION OF THE RIGHTS CONFERRED BYARTICLE I, SECTION XIV

OF THE OHIO CONSTITUTIONAND THE FOURTHAND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENTS

OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION."

A - The Warrantless Entry Into the Residence

Fourth Amendment searches without a warrant are per se unreasonable and illegal

in the absence of an exception to the warrant requirement. Katz v. United States (1967),

389 U.S. 347, 357, 88 S.Ct. 507, 19 L. Ed.2d 576; State v. Cosby (2008), 177 Ohio App.3d

670, 2008-Ohio-3862. The Supreme Court of Ohio has recognized seven exceptions

including the "presence of exigent circumstances." State v. Price (1999), 134 Ohio App.

3d 464, 467. An exigent circumstance exists when it is necessary to protect or preserve

life, or to prevent loss of evidence, or a danger to officer safety exists. State v. Sharpe

(2008), 174 Ohio App.3d 498, 2008-Ohio-267. An officer must present a reasonable,

articulable basis along with rational inferences generally associated with probable cause

in order to qualify for the emergency exception. State v. White (2008), 175 Ohio App.3d

302, 2008-Ohio-657; See State v. Applegate (1994), 68 Ohio St.3d 348, 350. Absentthese

exigent circumstances, officers are barred from entering one's home to perform a search.

Payton v. New York (1980), 445 U.S. 573, 100 S.Ct. 1371, 63 L. Ed.2d 639. "At a

suppression hearing, the state bears the burden of proving that a warrantles search or

seizure meets Fourth Amendment standards of reasonableness." Maumee v. Weisner

(1999), 87 Ohio St.3d 295, 297.

We agree with Hunter that the Dispatch Center received two anonymously made

phone calls. These two calls provided separate and distinct information regarding one

address and the occupants of the residence. The State's witness at the suppression

hearing testified that there was no way to determine whether these two calls were from the

same individual.

A hang-up 9-1-1 call creates a circumstance where a reasonable investigation can

be made. State v. Hodge, Montgomery App. No. 23694, 2011-Ohio-633. But a police

officer does not have probable cause to engage in a search based solely on ah anonymous

tip. Burchett, supra at 122.

Of course, merely knocking at a residence door does not violate the Fourth

Amendment after receiving any sort of tip. State v. Harris (2003), Montgomery App. No.

19479, 2003-Ohio-2519, ¶ 12. Nor does failure to volunteer that the person knocking is a

police officer render that conduct unreasonable or unlawful. State v. Barber, Montgomery

Habeas corpus

Respondent.

Respondent London Correctional Institution (LOCI) Warden Deborah Timmerman-Cooper

moves this Court to issue an order dismissing Petitioner Stefoun D. Hunter's petition for a writ of

habeas corpus with prejudice. The petition does not meet statutory filing requirements and it does

not state a cognizable claim for habeas corpus relief. Petitioner is not incarcerated at LOCI and

Respondent does not have custody or control of Petitioner; so Respondent is not a proper party to

this suit and this Court lacks jurisdiction. Since Petitioner has failed to state a claim upon which

relief can be granted, Respondent is entitled to judgment as a matter of law and this matter should

be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Civ. R. 12(B)(6) and/or Civ. R. 56(C). A memorandum

supporting Respondent's motion is attached.

MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT

Petitioner Hunter filed this petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to R.C. Chapter 2725.

Hunter's habeas petition names London Correctional Institution (LOCI) Warden Deborah

Timmerman-Cooper as the respondent and requests release from LOCI, however, Ohio Department

of Rehabilitation & Correction (DRC) records show that Hunter is not currently incarcerated at

LOCI and he is not in the LOCI Warden's custody. On March 21, 2012, the Montgomery County

Common Pleas Courts issued a Removal Warrant in Case Number 2009 CR 04069/2 State v.

Stefoun Deray Hunter, which ordered the Montgomery County Sheriff to convey Hunter to the

Montgomery County Jail while further case proceedings are pending. The Montgomery County

Sheriff complied with the removal warrant's terms and on March 22, 2012, Hunter was released

from DRC's custody and transported from LOCI to the Montgomery County Jail. (Exhibit A)

A. The petition should be dismissed because it is moot and Petitioner's claimsare not cognizable in habeas proceedings.

State habeas corpus relief is a special statutory remedy and technical flaws and failure to

comply with statutory filing requirements are sufficient grounds to dismiss a habeas corpus petition.

R.C. 2725.03 states in pertinent part:

If a person restrained of his liberty is an inmate of a state *** correctionalinstitution, the location of which is fixed by statute and at the time is incustody of the officers of the institution, no court or judge other than thecourts or judges of the county in which the institution is located hasjurisdiction to issue or determine a writ of habeas corpus for his productionor discharge. Any writ issued by a court or judge of another county to anofficer or person in charge at the institution to compel the production ordischarge of an inmate thereof is void.

The Ohio Supreme Court specifically found R.C. 2725.03 constitutional in Bridges v.

McMackin (1989), 44 Ohio St.3d 135 and has conclusively ruled that a habeas petition must be filed

in the county where an inmate is incarcerated, otherwise the habeas petition is not properly filed and

V. ;L 6

Page 35: 12-1308 - sconet.state.oh.us Mr.Stefoun D. Hunter, ... eas Corpus Petition, ... titioner's Habeas Corpus Action, failed to come to judgment on the various mot-

the county court lacks jurisdiction to substantively review the inmate's claims. Brown v. Hall

(2009), 123 Ohio St. 3d 381; Goudlock v. Voorhies (2008), 119 Ohio St. 3d 398. Additionally,

under R.C. 2725.04(B), only the officer or person confming or restraining the prisoner is a proper

respondent in a habeas action.

In this case, Petitioner Hunter is currently incarcerated in the Montgomery County Jail,

which is under the Montgomery County Sheriff's control. Any future state custody is purely

speculative at this time and even if Hunter subsequently returns to DRC's custody in the fnture, that

custody would be dependent upon a court order which is not at issue in this habeas action. After

Hunter's release, the LOCI Warden was no longer a proper respondent based on R.C. 2725.04(B).

Once Hunter was released from LOCI on March 22,2012, this Court lost jurisdiction over his

petition pursuant to R.C. 2725.03 and this habeas action became moot.

Since this Court lacks jurisdiction to review his claims and the LOCI Warden is not a proper

respondent in this case, Hunter cannot prove any set of facts that would entitle him to relief in this

action. A Civ. R. 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim challenges a complaint's

adequacy and the court must detemiine whether the complaint sets forth sufficient allegations to

make out the elements of a cause of action. In making its determination, the court must presume

that all factual allegations in the complaint are true and make all reasonable inferences in the

nonmoving party's favor. A complaint should be dismissed if it undoubtedly appears that the

plaintiff cannot prove any set of facts that would entitle him to the requested relief. Vail v. Plain

Dealer Publishing Co. (1995), 72 Ohio St.3d 279; O'Brien v. University Community Tenants

Union, Inc. (1975), 42 Ohio St.2d 242.

A motion for summary judgment may be used as a substitute for Civ. R. 12(B)(6) to

dismiss a claim upon which relief cannot be granted. Watkins v. Teater (1983), 11 Ohio App.3d

^J7

Page 36: 12-1308 - sconet.state.oh.us Mr.Stefoun D. Hunter, ... eas Corpus Petition, ... titioner's Habeas Corpus Action, failed to come to judgment on the various mot-

103. Civ. R. 56 (C) "specifically provides that before summary judgment may be granted, it must

be determined that * * *

(1) No genuine issue as to any material fact remains to be litigated; ***

(2) The moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law; and ***

(3) It appears from the evidence that reasonable minds can come to oneconclusion, and viewing such evidence most strongly in favor of the partyagainst whom the motion for summary judgment is made, that conclusion isadverse to the party."

Temple v. Wean United (1977), 50 Ohio St.2d 317, 327. When Civ. R. 56(C) is used as a Civ. R.

12(B)(6) substitute, the court will not detemvne if there are facts in dispute, instead, the court will

determine if there is any set of facts that the plaintiff could prove that would entitle him to relief.

O'Brien v. Univ. Community Tenants Union, Inc. (1975), 42 Ohio St.2d 242, 245. The summary

judgment motion will be granted if proof of the allegations in the complaint would still not entitle

plaintiff to recovery. Id.

R.C. 2725.04 allows an inmate to file a writ of habeas corpus, seeking relief from unlawful

custody or unlawful restraint of liberty. Habeas corpus will lie only to grant release from some type

of physical confinement, such as a prison. State ex rel. Smirnoffv. Green (1998), 84 Ohio St.3d 165.

Petitions for habeas corpus should be dismissed as moot when the inmate has been released from

incarceration. Pewitt v. Lorain Correctional Institution (1992), 64 Ohio St.3d 470.

In this case, even if all factual inferences are made in Hunter's favor, his habeas complaint

does not establish a cause of action. The only available remedy, release from the LOCI Warden's

custody is a moot issue and his habeas petition should be dismissed. No genuine issue of material

fact remains to be litigated and there is only one reasonable conclusion - Respondent is entitled to

judgment as a matter of law.

V. a,q

Page 37: 12-1308 - sconet.state.oh.us Mr.Stefoun D. Hunter, ... eas Corpus Petition, ... titioner's Habeas Corpus Action, failed to come to judgment on the various mot-

Hunter's habeas petition should also be dismissed for procedural reasons. Technical flaws

and failure to comply with statutory filing requirements are sufficient grounds to dismiss a habeas

corpus petition. At issue are both the habeas corpus petition filing requirements set forth in R.C.

2725.04 and statutory requirements pertaining to civil suits filed by state inmates set forth in R.C.

Chapter 2969.

In the present case, the habeas corpus petition relief should be disniissed because Hunter did

not pay the requisite filing fee or properly request a fee waiver, Hunter did not file a sufficient prior

civil action affidavit and the petition does not comply with Civ. R. 10(A) because the caption does

not contain the parties' addresses.

B. The petition should be dismissed because Petitioner failed to payrequisite filing fees or alternatively file an indigency affidavit, assetdisclosure statement and certified inmate account statement.

R.C. 2969.22 requires state inmates to pay the full filing fees in virtually all civil actions and

appeals commenced in state court (other than the Court of Claims) and specifically states:

The clerk of the court in which a civil action or appeal is filed shall charge to theinmate either the total payment of the requisite fees that are described in section2303.20 of the Revised Code or that otherwise are applicable to actions or appealsfiled in that court or, if the inmate has submitted an affidavit of indigency, all fundsin the inmate account of that inmate in excess of ten dollars, and shall notify theinmate of the charge.

In order to obtain a waiver of the requirement to pre-pay filing fees, an inmate must comply with

R.C. 2969.25(C) and file an indigency affidavit, a fee-waiver request affidavit, an asset disclosure

statement and a certified inmate account statement.

These filing requirements apply to state habeas corpus actions and a habeas corpus petition

must be dismissed as improperly filed if the filing fee is not paid and delayed payment authorization

is not requested or supported by the specified documents. Belated attempts to file the required

documentation do not excuse noncompliance because R.C. 2969.22 and R.C. 2969.25(C) require

P. al9

Page 38: 12-1308 - sconet.state.oh.us Mr.Stefoun D. Hunter, ... eas Corpus Petition, ... titioner's Habeas Corpus Action, failed to come to judgment on the various mot-

that the fees, affidavits and statements be filed "with the complaint." Fuqua v. Williams (2003), 100

Ohio St.3d 211.

In the present case, Hunter has not paid the required filing fees in full, nor has he properly

requested a waiver of the pre-payment requirement. Although Hunter filed an indigency affidavit,

Hunter failed to file a fee-waiver request affidavit, an asset disclosure statement or a certified inmate

account statement. Since Hunter did not comply with R.C. 2969.25(C), the Petition should

therefore be dismissed because the action was not properly commenced.

C. The petition should be dismissed because Petitioner did not attach asufficient prior civil action affidavit.

R.C. 2969.25(A) states:

At the time that an inmate commences a civil action or appeal against agovenunent entity or employee, the inmate shall file with the court anaffidavit that contains a description of each civil action or appeal of a civilaction that the inmate has filed in the previous five years in any state orfederal court. The affidavit shall include all of the following for each ofthose civil actioris or appeals: (1) A brief description of the nature of the civilaction or appeal; (2) The case name, case number, and the court in which thecivil action or appeal was brought; (3) The name of each party to the civilaction or appeal;

R.C. 2969.25 applies to habeas corpus actions and a petition should be dismissed when there

is a fai.lure to comply with the statutory filing requirements. State ex rel. Zanders v. Ohio Parole

Board (1998), 82 Ohio St.3d 421. Belated attempts to file the required documentation do not

excuse noncompliance because R.C. 2969.25(A) requires the prior lawsuit affidavit to be filed "at

the time an inmate commences a civil action" and the document is necessary to evaluate whether

R.C. 2969.25(B) review is necessary.

In the present case, Hunter stated at page 7 of his pleading "N/A `Note,' the petitioner has

V.:3b

Page 39: 12-1308 - sconet.state.oh.us Mr.Stefoun D. Hunter, ... eas Corpus Petition, ... titioner's Habeas Corpus Action, failed to come to judgment on the various mot-

not filed any other civil actions anywhere in the past (5) years." Although Hunter purportedly

signed the page under a statement that reads "I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is

true and correct," the statements are not notarized and do not constitute an affidavit.

D. The petition should be dismissed because it is not properly captioned.

Dismissal is also warranted because Hunter's habeas corpus petition is not properly

captioned in accordance with Ohio Civ. P. 10(A). The Ohio Supreme Court has held that a habeas

petition is defective and subject to dismissal if it does not comply with Civ. R. 10(A) and does not

include the parties' addresses. State ex rel. Sherrills v. State, 91 Ohio St.3d 133 (2001).

III. CONCLUSION

Respondent moves this Court to grant Respondent's motion and to dismiss Hunter's habeas

corpus petition with prejudice and costs taxed to Hunter. The habeas corpus petition should be

dismissed with prejudice because Hunter filed the petition in the wrong county and this court lacks

jurisdiction to review Hunter's claim on their merits. Furthermore, Hunter is not in the LOCI

Warden's custody, so she is not a proper respondent in this action.

The habeas petition should also be dismissed on procedural filing grounds. Hunter's habeas

corpus petition is procedurally defective because Hunter did not pay the filing fee in full and/or

properly request a fee waiver, Hunter did not include a proper prior civil action affidavit, and the

petition does not comply with Civ. R. 10 and contain the parties' addresses.

Undoubtedly, Hunter cannot prove supporting facts that will entitle him to relief and

Respondent is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, so this petition should be dismissed pursuant

to Civ. R. 12(B)(6).

Pe 31

Alternatively, there is no genuine issue of material fact; the only reasonable conclusion is

that Hunter is not entitled to relief from Respondent and Respondent is entitled to judgment as a

mater of law, so the petition should be dismissed pursuant to Civ. R. 56(C).

jurist, can come to but one clusion and that conclusion is adverse to the party against

whom the motion for Summary Judgment is made, that party being entitled to have *1ze evid-
