Syllabus

Mandamus—Public-records requests—All items listed in relator's request are not records, have been provided, and/or are no longer a basis for any claim for writ—City lacked reasonable basis to withhold all records requested simply because some of them related to a criminal investigation or prosecution and therefore were subject to R.C. 149.43(B)(8)'s requirement that requester seek court approval before submitting request—Writ denied and statutory damages awarded.
