Syllabus

Public-records requests—Mandamus—Prior-civil-actions affidavit that inmate filed under R.C. 2969.25(A) when he commenced mandamus action was deficient for his failure to specify court in which he had filed one of his previous cases—Inmate's omission was not cured by his amendment of affidavit, because a compliant affidavit was due when original complaint was filed—Court of appeals correctly granted prison's motion to dismiss but erred in dismissing action with prejudice—Judgment reversed and cause remanded for entry of dismissal without prejudice.
