Syllabus

Motion to seal the case; ex parte protection order; R.C. 2903.214(G)(2); R.C. 2953.32. Affirmed. Appellant appealed the trial court's denial of his motion to seal the case containing his conviction for violating an ex parte protection order. Appellant asserted that R.C. 2903.214(G)(2) required sealing of the case after the denial of a protection order. On appeal, the court found that R.C. 2903.214(G)(2) was only applicable to the common pleas court where the civil stalking protection order was filed, not to the municipal court where the violation of the ex parte protection order was prosecuted.
