85 Ohio St. 3d 370 | Ohio | 1999
We affirm the dismissal of Earl’s mandamus action. Earl has an adequate legal remedy by way of a declaratory judgment action in common pleas court to correct his prison record. State ex rel. Konoff v. Shafer (1997), 80 Ohio St.3d 294, 295-296, 685 N.E.2d 1248, 1249-1250; State ex rel. Yonkings v. Ohio Dept. of Rehab. & Corr. (Oct. 28, 1993), Franklin App. No. 93AP-655, unreported, 1993 WL 435190, affirmed (1994), 69 Ohio St.3d 70, 630 N.E.2d 365. There is no evidence of any present injury to Earl that would prevent a declaratory judgment from providing a complete, beneficial, and speedy remedy. Konoff, 80 Ohio St.3d at 295-296, 685 N.E.2d at 1250, citing Schrader v. Vilevac (Jan. 31, 1996), Lorain App. No. 95CA006187, unreported, 1996 WL 37762.
Judgment affirmed.
