• 2025 Ohio 397

Syllabus

Relator filed no objections to the magistrate's decision concluding that there was sufficient evidence presented by the Ohio Adult Parole Authority in the record, if believed, to support the finding that he knowingly or with reckless disregard had access to a firearm, thereby violating Rule 4 of the terms of his postrelease control. The magistrate explained that as this postrelease control violation was supported by sufficient evidence, and relator did not contest the remaining violations, he failed to establish a clear legal right to the requested relief or that respondent was under a clear legal duty to provide such relief. Because there is no error of law or other defect evident on the face of the magistrate's decision, it is adopted and the request for a writ of mandamus is denied.
