2024Keith v. Dept. of Rehab. & Corr., 153 Ohio St.3d 568 , 2018-Ohio-3128, ¶ 16 .

1992A parole violation is a separate offense. ((# * * “Thus, the triple-count provision of R.C. 2945.71(E) is inapplicable to a defendant held in jail under a parole holder, even when there are additional criminal charges pending. * * * ” State v.

2022Considering the words "eligible for parole" in former R.C. 2967.13(A), Keith observed that No. 20AP-303 10 in Layne, the court held that "inherent in the language is 'the expectation that a criminal offender will receive meaningful consideration.' " Id. [H]aving set up the system and defined at least some of the factors to be considered in the parole decision, the state has created a minimal due-process expectation that the factors considered at a parole hearing are to be as described in the statute or rule and are to actually and accurately pertain to the prisoner whose parole is being consid

2008Inherent in this statutory language is the expectation that a criminal offender will receive meaningful consideration for parole." The Supreme Court of Ohio pointed out that "meaningful consideration for parole consists of more than a parole hearing in which an inmate's offense of conviction is disregarded and parole eligibility is judged largely, if not entirely, on an offense category score that does not correspond to the offense or offenses of conviction set forth in the plea agreement." Id.

2007DECISION {¶ 1} Relator, James Weaver, commenced this original action requesting that this court issue a writ of mandamus ordering respondent, Ohio Adult Parole Authority ("OAPA"), to reconsider him for parole because, although respondent did recently provide relator with a new parole hearing as required by Ankrom v. Ohio Adult Parole Auth. , Franklin App. No. 04AP-984, 2005-Ohio-1546 , relator maintains that respondent has failed to give him the meaningful consideration required. *Page 2 {¶ 2} This court referred the matter to a magistrate of this court, pursuant to Civ.R. 53 and Loc.R. 12(M)

2007Ankrom, 2005-Ohio-1546 , 2005 WL 737833 . {¶ 3} In August 2006, appellant, inmate James Weaver, received a parole hearing pursuant to Ankrom.

2025“This occurs most notably ‘when the parole authorities fail to make a determination of the parole violation issue within a reasonable time.’” Id., quoting Beach v. McAninch, 111 Ohio App.3d 667, 672 (4th Dist. 1996); see also State v. Bell, 2016- Ohio-4630, ¶ 10 (“R.C.

2014Jackson v. McFaul, 73 Ohio St.3d 185,188 , 652 N.E.2d 746 (1995). {¶ 14} Consistent with these cases, Scarberry makes clear that the relief he seeks is a new parole hearing, not immediate release from incarceration.

2013This court has previously held that “‘R.C. 5139.52(F) unambiguously states that if a trial court decides to return a juvenile to the custody of ODYS as a result of a parole violation, the court shall return him for no less than 30 days.’” (Emphasis sic.) In re N.P., supra, ¶11 , quoting In re A.N., 11th Dist.

2013Ashtabula No. 2012-A-0024, 2013-Ohio-1288 , appeal allowed, 136 Ohio St.3d 1449 , 2013-Ohio-3210 , 991 N.E.2d 256 , the Eleventh Appellate District held that, although R.C. 2152.17(F) is inapplicable to sentences for parole violations, because a juvenile court has discretion to craft an appropriate disposition for a child adjudicated delinquent, it has the inherent authority to run the child’s parole violation consecutive to another term of commitment.

2004Thus, there was no right to a hearing when "a subsequent parole violation conviction had been established and the law gave the parole agency no authority to consider further mitigating factors." Id., citing Sneed v. Donahue, 993 F.2d 1239 (6th Cir. 1993). {¶ 14} Yet the court also determined that to apply the holding in Kellogg to persons convicted of a first offense prior to September 1, 1992 2 would be a violation of the ex post facto clause.

2008Accordingly, Andrew “may not waive his right to counsel” unless he is “counseled by his parent, guardian, or custodian [or has] consulted with an attorney.” Id. at paragraph two of the syllabus.

2005McKee v. Cooper (1974), 40 Ohio St.2d 65 , this court had granted a writ of prohibition where a prisoner had alleged that the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction was about to hold a parole hearing for the prisoner prior to the expiration of his statutory minimum sentence.

2005Id. {¶ 30} In the case at bar, appellant's speedy trial time on the charges at bar began to run on November 24, 2003, the date of the indictment.

1993Id. “‘Thus, the triple-count provision of R.C. 2945.71(E) is inapplicable to a defendant held in jail under a parole holder, even when there are additional criminal charges pending. * * *’ State v. Dunkins (1983), 10 Ohio App.3d 72, 74-75 , 10 OBR 82, 85, 460 N.E.2d 688, 692 .

2004Although not explicitly stated, this is the same conclusion we reached in Conyers, 87 Ohio St.3d 246 , 719 N.E.2d 535 . {¶ 17} In Conyers, this court discussed the law in effect at the time of Conyers’s parole violation, not the law in effect at the time of his underlying crime, which he had committed prior to July 1, 1996.

2004Martin, Assistant Public Defender, for appellee. {¶ 26} Finally, the majority concludes that Thompson is “subject to the law regarding escape as it existed when he failed to report” and that “this is the same conclusion we reached in [State v.] Conyers [ (1999), 87 Ohio St.3d 246 , 719 N.E.2d 535 ].” Contrary to the majority’s assertion, however, our decision in Conyers did not determine that the date of the parole violation controls which version of R.C.

2026Therefore, we reject McDonald’s first proposition of law. {¶ 16} In support of his second proposition of law, McDonald maintains that DRC violated the separation-of-powers doctrine when it allegedly “extend[ed] the time by which [he] would have his first [parole] hearing without the power to do so.” McDonald maintains that the remedy for DRC’s alleged unconstitutional action is for him “to be released from a life sentence.” However, even if McDonald’s initial parole hearing was held later than it should have been—i.e., upon the expiration of his minimum sentence—“his eligibility for parole con
