State ex rel. Ames v. Regional Income Tax Agency Bd. of Trustees

2025-1234

Mandamus—Public-records requests—Records request was essentially seeking a declaratory judgment, which is not within a court of appeals’ original jurisdiction—A public office has no duty to provide records that do not exist or create new documents to satisfy a public-records request—Public office provided requested copies of its rules regarding notification of meetings, and court of appeals therefore correctly determined that public-records request was moot and requester was not entitled to statutory damages—Court of appeals’ judgment affirmed.

Moore v. Mercy Med. Ctr.

2024-1212

Civil law—Summary judgment—Sham-affidavit rule—When an expert incorporates his Civ.R. 26(B)(7) expert report by reference into a properly framed affidavit, he adopts the contents of the report as part of the sworn affidavit for purposes of Civ.R. 56—Once an expert’s report is properly before a court through a sworn affidavit, the court may assess the consistency of the opinions in the report and the affidavit under the sham-affidavit rule—Expert’s affidavit contradicted the opinions expressed his prior report without sufficient explanation, so trial court acted within its discretion by striking the affidavit under sham-affidavit rule—Court of appeals’ judgment affirmed.
