State ex rel. Sherrills v. State

In July 2000, appellant, inmate Daries Sherrills, filed a complaint in the Court of Appeals for Cuyahoga County for a writ of mandamus to compel appellee, state of Ohio, to order that the journal in a case in that court reflect the truth and to file his brief in which he raised a claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. Sherrills alternatively sought a writ of habeas corpus to compel his immediate release from prison. The court of appeals sua sponte dismissed the cause. State ex rel. Sherrills v. State (Aug. 3, 2000), Cuyahoga App. No. 78261, unreported, 2000 WL 1060605.
