State ex rel. Lindsay v. Dep't of Rehabilitation & Correction
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing Appellant's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, holding that Appellant was not entitled to relief on his propositions of law.
Appellant was convicted of rape of a minor and other crimes. Appellant later brought this petition for a writ of habeas corpus alleging that after serving his mandatory minimum sentence he satisfied the conditions for parole and had been granted release and that he had a right to immediate release. The court of appeals denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the error of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction misinforming Appellant about his parole status did not create a constitutional right to parole.
