State Ex Rel. Jackson v. Craft, Unpublished Decision (12-12-2000)

Ohio Court of Appeals

Decided December 12, 2000No. 78949Unpublished

1Opinion of the Court

Kenneth Jackson, petitioner, filed an Original Action for Writ of Habeas Corpus seeking release from prison by way of habeas corpus. We dismiss the petition sua sponte because this court lacks jurisdiction to entertain petitioner's claim since the petitioner is incarcerated at the Lorain Correctional Institution in Grafton, Ohio, and is not in the custody of any authority that is located within Cuyahoga County. See R.C. 2725.03; Bridges v. McMackin(1989), 44 Ohio St.3d 135,541 N.E.2d 1035; State ex rel. Dixon v. Gold (1991), 76 Ohio App.3d 518,602 N.E.2d 408. Accordingly, case is dismissed.
