Syllabus

Civ.R. 56; motion for summary judgment; inmate; false imprisonment; gross negligence; Adm.Code 5120-2-03.2. Plaintiff claimed false imprisonment due to a miscalculation of earned credit. On a motion for summary judgment, the court found that where defendant provided an affidavit from a Bureau of Sentence Computation (\BOSC\) and Bureau of Records Management employee detailing how plaintiff's sentence was properly calculated, along with the BOSC legal file for plaintiff, it met its initial burden pursuant to Civ.R. 56(C). Further, plaintiff did not meet his reciprocal burden pursuant to Civ.R. 56(E) with unauthenticated evidence and an unsigned and unnotarized affidavit. Therefore, the court granted the motion and rendered summary judgment in favor of defendant.
