Syllabus

Habeas corpus; R.C. 2725.04(D); commitment papers; proper parties; police misconduct; and judicial misconduct. The court sua sponte dismissed this habeas corpus petition because claims of police and judicial misconduct are not cognizable in habeas corpus. Petitioner did not include commitment papers as required by R.C. 2725.04(D). Only the jailer is the proper respondent in a habeas corpus petition; thus, the judge and the police department were dismissed as improper parties.
