Syllabus

Civ.R. 12(B)(1); subject-matter jurisdiction; R.C. 2743.03; R.C. 2743.75. Trial court erred when it denied appellant's motion for dismissal for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. The legislature's grant of jurisdiction to the Court of Claims to hear public-records-access cases expanded the court's already limited jurisdiction to political subdivisions. The plain language of the statute does not establish an intent to expand the Court of Claims' jurisdiction to private entities.
