Mobley v. O'Donnell
Citations
- 2022 Ohio 908
Syllabus
The trial court did not err in dismissing appellant's action pursuant to Civ.R. 12(B)(6). Appellant brought his declaratory judgment action to collaterally attack his judgment of conviction and sentence. But a declaratory judgment action cannot be used to collaterally attack a conviction or sentence. As such, his claims did not raise the justiciable controversy necessary for a declaratory judgment action. Judgment affirmed.
