MEt<1CIRANCIJM
The Respondent in his Motion of Respondents to Dismiss Relator's Complaint for
Writ of Mandamus rightfully acknowledged that the Relator's goal is to include
the proper paperwork in a clemency appli.caticn.
The Respondent poJ.nts out a"prolalem", however, the Respondent does not
acknowledge the real problem when explaining the case. The Respondent
states,",..Sut he never asked the clerk to prorJuce them." The Relator's wife
approached the clerk initially, h®wever, The Clerk of the Montgomery County
Courts expleined to my wife that the court "do not" have the Relator's Journal
Entry in the warehouse.
In the (2nd section of the Respondents motion) the Respondent failed to
acknowledge that the Relator fit the criteria for the lWandamus to be granted.
(1) a clear legal right,..,.attached to the Relator's motion is a letter from
the Judge Mike Flell informing the Relator to retrieve a copy of his 3ournal
Entry and Sentencing Information from R.C.I.,
The Respondents acknowledged that the Relator is seeking "clemency" from the
Governor of Ohio, and the Relator is in the custody of the Ross Corr.Inst.
And there existthe fact the Relator's Judge informed the Relator to retrieve it
from R.C.I.
(2) a clear legal duty on the part of the respondent,...The only two places
where the Relator is to retrieve his Journal Entry and Sentencing Information is
from the Montgomery County Court system, and the Ross Cor.rectional Institution,
and it is The Ohio Department Clf Corrections entity that is requesting such
documents.
(3) the lack of an adequate remedy in the ordinary oourse of law...The fact
that BOTH possessors of the Relator's 3ournal Entry and Sentencing Information
is denying the Relator access to these documents, thus prohibiting the Relator
from seeking relief from the Governor of Ohio.
The +'only" avenues the Relator has, denied the Relator access to his documents,
so, the Relator ask this Honorable Court to order both entities to release
either the Journal Entry and Sentencing Information to file a"clemency" or
release the Relator. The Relator believes he has met all three criteria to file
and be granted his Writ of Mandamus.
The Relator is not asking far documents that is not already in the Relator's
"Master File", but was also requested from the Montgomery County Common P1eas
Judge Mike Hall, Mr. Wolfe has been misdirected several times and the Relator
will expl'ain to the Supreme Court,how.
1. Judge Mike Hall stated for the Relator to retrieve the Journal Entry and
Sentencing Information from R.C,I (see ex: a of this motion.)
2;Rttorney for Mike Hall Ms.Cerley J.Ingram on page 3 of her motion cited R.C.
149.42 with supporting cases that it is the Trial Court who has the authority to
give the Relator his requested documents.(see ex.b of this motion.)
3: The Respondents at hand is stating that it is the responsibility of the Clerk
of Court to supply the Relator with the requested documents.(motion of the
Respondents.)
Simply put, there is no one accepting,responsibility in this regard and asking
The Supreme Court of Ohio to not order relief in this instance. The Relator is
being caught up not in the quality of justice but in the quality of injustice in
which the Relator believes that he is entitled to his Journal Entry and
Sentencing Information for purposes of filing a clemency with the Gavernor and
to prohibit the Relator from doing so violates his Right to Due Process.
CONCLUSION
The Relator ask this Court to grant the Relator's Writ of Mandamus. /

made by a petition that is brought in the name of the state and on relation of the person applying.
Wolfe's mis-captioning of his action is grounds for denying the writ and dismissing the petition.
Martin v. Woods,121 Ohio St.3d 609, 2009-Ohio-1928, 906 N.E.2d 1113.
C. Wolfe has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.Wolfe, who is
an inmate at the Ross Correctional Institution, complains that the trial court denied his request
for copies of documents filed in the murder case that sent him to prison, and he asks this Court to
issue a writ of mandamus directing Respondent do so. However, under R.C. 149.43(B)(8), a
public officer or person responsible for public records is not required to permit an inmate to
inspect or obtain a copy of any public record concerning a criminal investigation or prosecution
unless the request to inspect or,obtain a copy of the records is to acquire information that is
subject to release as a public record under R.C. 149.42, and the judge who imposed the sentence
(or that judge's successor in office) finds that the information sought is necessary to support
what appears to be a justiciable claim of the person.State ex rel. Russell v. Bican, 112 Ohio
St.3d 559, 2007-Ohio-813, 862 N.E.2d 102;State ex rel. Russell v. Thornton, 111 Ohio St.3d
409, 2006-Ohio-5858, 856 N.E.2d 966; State ex rel. Sevayega v. Reis, 88 Ohio St.3d 458, 459,
2000-Ohio-383, 727 N.E.2d 910. Wolfe has not complied with R.C. 149.43(B)(8), and so he
has no right to inspect or obtain a copy of the records.
As a result, while it is true tlxat mandanius is the appropriate remedy to compel
compliance with 149.43(B)(1), Wolfe has no right to the writ because he has not obtained the
necessary decision from the trial court.
