Syllabus

R.C. 2953.32; expungement; sealing; abuse of discretion; de novo; statutory interpretation; ambiguous. The trial court erred in denying appellant's application for expungement in favor of sealing the applicant's records where the applicant requested expungement, was eligible for expungement, there was no objection to expungement, and the trial court made findings requiring expungement. The trial court's reference to a local policy and statutory ambiguity did not warrant derogation from the statute.
