Syllabus

R.C. 149.43(B)(8), mandamus, public records, witness statements, clerk of courts, judicial approval to obtain records, R.C. 2969.25(A), prior lawsuit affidavit, and inability to cure. The court dismissed an inmate's public-records mandamus because the inmate did not obtain prior judicial approval to seek the records under R.C. 149.43(B)(8) and because the inmate submitted an incorrect prior lawsuit affidavit under R.C. 2969.25(A) that could not be cured by a supplemental filing.
