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.

Page 8: Department DaDI:^. Ucrreution Respondents,n Ucrreution DaDI:^.°/ JAN 2 8 2011 CLERK OF COURT SUPREME VOURT OF OHIO. un 3ancaary 25,2011 the Relator ueent to notice ttsreG the Glerk

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.
