State Ex Rel. Cody v. Ohio Supreme Court Board of Commissioners

On July. 15, 1996, relator, James Z. Cody, filed what this court construes as a petition for writ of mandamus. Relator names the Ohio Supreme Court Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline and the Ohio Supreme Court Disciplinary Counsel and Assistant Counsel as respondents. Relator asserts a number of allegations concerning the respondents’ failure to adequately complete their responsibilities to investigate his complaints of lawyer misconduct and, accordingly, requests a peremptory writ of mandamus “compelling” them to “fulfill [their] mandates under Ohio law” as to his grievances.
