legitimate claim in Ohio

2022Guernsey County, Case No. 21CA000016 7 {¶19} The Supreme Court has made it clear that a mere unilateral hope or expectation of release on parole is not enough to constitute a protected liberty interest; the prisoner “must, instead, have a legitimate claim of entitlement to it.” Greenholtz, 422 U.S. at 7, 99 S.Ct. at 2104 (quoting Board of Regents v. Roth, 408 U.S. 564, 577 , 92 S.Ct. 2701, 2709 , 33 L.Ed.2d 548 (1972)) (emphasis supplied).

2014Albrecht III at 894. {¶ 42} In concluding that a property right existed, the trial court relied on the prior decision of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Brotherton v. Cleveland, 923 F.2d 477 (6th Cir.1991), and R.C. 313.14, which gives certain rights to relatives of a decedent.

2008In Brotherton v. Cleveland (C.A.6, 1991), 923 F.2d 477 , the court held that under Ohio law the decedent’s wife’s interest in her husband’s corneas rose to the level of a legitimate claim of entitlement protected by the Due Process Clause.

2004“Given * * * the ‘strong presumption’ that counsel's performance constituted reasonable assistance, counsel’s actions must be viewed as tactical decisions and do not rise to the level of ineffective assistance.” State v. Bradley, 42 Ohio St.3d at 144 , 538 N.E.2d 373 ; see, also, State v. Myers, 97 Ohio St.3d 335 , 2002-Ohio-6658 , 780 N.E.2d 186, ¶ 155 . {¶ 170} Failure to object to instructions, prosecutorial misconduct, and a jury challenge.

1993The Ohio Supreme Court has previously concluded that “probationary civil service employment does not constitute a legitimate claim of entitlement to be accorded procedural due process under the Fourteenth Amendment.” Id. at 65 , 23 O.O.3d at 97-98 , 430 N.E.2d at 935 .

1982Thus, although the lack of a contractual or tenure right to continued or re-employment would not, taken alone, defeat a Fourteenth Amendment claim, Perry v. Sindermann (1972), 408 U. S. 593 , a legitimate claim of entitlement must be shown to accord procedural due process to appellee.
