Syllabus

Core Terms: public record court of claims R.C. 2743.75 R.C. 149.43 moot promptly ambiguous overly broad revise. Overview: Requester requested public records and filed this action having received no records after 30 days. Haney received the records responsive to six of the eight requests during mediation, and elected to voluntarily dismiss the other two. The special master recommended the court find that all Haney's requests had been rendered moot or voluntarily dismissed, but that the City had failed to promptly provide personnel records, and further failed to provide Haney the information and opportunity to revise requests pursuant to R.C. 149.43(B)(2). Neither party filed objections. Outcome: The court found no error of law or other defect on the face of the special master's decision and adopted the report and recommendation as its own.
