State Ex Rel. Martin v. Ohio Adult Parole Authority
State Ex Rel. Martin v. Ohio Adult Parole Authority
Opinion
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the complaint of appellant, Tramaine E. Martin, for a writ of prohibition to prevent appellee, Ohio Adult Parole Authority (“APA”), from continuing its supervision of him on postrelease control. Martin’s prohibition claim lacks merit because “neither the APA nor its parole officers exercised judicial or quasi-judicial authority in imposing postrelease control” on him. State ex rel. McGrath v. Ohio Adult Parole Auth., 100 Ohio St.3d 72, 2003-Ohio-5062, 796 N.E.2d 526, ¶7. In addition, Martin “had an adequate remedy by way of direct appeal from his sentence to raise his claim that he did not receive proper notification about *507 postrelease control at his sentencing hearing.” Briseno v. Cook, 121 Ohio St.3d 38, 2009-Ohio-308, 901 N.E.2d 798, ¶ 1.
Judgment affirmed.
