• 2020 Ohio 3385

Syllabus

The trial court did not err in granting summary judgment in favor of defendant-appellee, the Ohio Adult Parole Authority (\OAPA\), nor did the trial court abuse its discretion in denying appellant's motion for default judgment. Appellant's claims for false imprisonment failed as a matter of law because he could not show the OAPA wrongfully retained custody of him beyond a lawful term of incarceration. The trial court properly found that OAPA lawfully confined Washington for violating the terms and conditions of the post-release control imposed during his two sentencings pursuant to facially valid sentencing entries. Judgment affirmed.
