Syllabus

Appellants, Plaintiffs in a separate civil action pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio relating to a shooting death at a Beavercreek, Ohio Wal-Mart store, filed a petition in the lower court seeking the release of grand jury testimony from two police officers involved in the shooting death at issue in the federal lawsuit. It cannot be concluded, even when construing the allegations in the petition entirely in Appellants' favor, that Appellants can meet their threshold burden to establish that the failure to disclose the police officers' grand jury testimony will deprive Appellants of the fair adjudication of their federal lawsuit. Judgment affirmed. (Froelich, J., dissenting.)
