IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIOTENTH APPELLATE DISTRICT ^^ a SEp 29 Pfi 2:J6

FRANKLIN COUNTYGLEi^;^ u1- GOURTS

Robert L. Hillman,

Plaintiff,

V.

Susan Brown, Judge,Tenth District Court of Appeals,

Case No. 11 AP-22

DECISION ANDJUDGMENT ENTRY

Defendant.

Harsha, P.J.

This matter comes before the Court on Respondent Judge Susan Brown's

motion to dismiss Plaintiff Robert L. Hillman's complaint. For the reasons that

follow, Judge Brown's motion is GRANTED and this case if hereby DISMISSED.

PROCEDURAL HISTORY

Hillman filed an application to seal his record pursuant to R.C. 2953.52 in

Franklin County Common Pleas Cases 95CR-2298, 95CR-5414, and 03CR-

3447. The trial court denied the application on April 5, 2010. Hillman filed three

appeals from this decision in State v. Hillman, Franklin App. No. 10AP-424,

10AP-425, and 10AP-426, which were subsequently consolidated.

In December 2010, Hillman filed a motion to issue a show cause order

against the assistant prosecutor in the case, alleging that he fraudulently

concealed material information. In response to this motion, Judge Brown signed

a journal entry stating that, "Ap^ellant's December 10, 2010 motion shall be

Franklin App. No. 11AP-22 2

submitted to the court for determination at such time as the court addresses the

merits of this appeal:''

Thereafter, Hillman filed a complaint against Judge Brown seeking a show

cause order against her pursuant to R.C. 2705.02. In his complaint, he argues

that Judge Brown made a false statement in her journal entry by saying the Court

would "rule on the contempt of court allegations at the same time the Court ruled

on the merits or heard the merits of the actual case." Hillman argued that the

Court heard the merits of the case on November 17, 2010 - the date of the

scheduled oral argument - and, therefore, Judge Brown's statement was false

and she should be held in contempt.

Judge Brown filed a motion to dismiss this complaint on the grounds that:

(1) the factual allegations in Hillman's complaint misrepresent the record; (2) this

Court lacks jurisdiction to hold Judge Brown in contempt because any such

request should have been made to the panel hearing Hillman's original appeal;

and (3) Ohio courts of appeals have limited original jurisdiction, which does not

include the action brought by Hillman. Because we agree that this Court lacks

jurisdiction to hear Hillman's complaint, we address this argument first.

LAW AND ANALYSIS

Ohio law is clear that "[c]ourts of appeals have such jurisdiction as may be

provided by law to review and affirm, modify, or reverse judgments or final orders

of the courts of record inferior to the court of appeals within the district ***."

' On March 22, 2011, this Court issued a memorandum decision affirming the trial court'siu gmen an cienying the show ce arder: fhis-Covrt7ournafizedrthatdecistarrirrarrentry-o

Franklin App. No. 11 AP-22

Section 3(B)(2), Article IV, Ohio Constitution. Additionally, courts of appeals have

original jurisdiction in the following: (1) quo warranto; (2) mandamus; (3) habeas

corpus; (4) prohibition; (5) procedendo; and (6) in any cause on review as may

be necessary to its complete determination. Id. at Section 3(B)(1).

Hillman is asking this Court to exercise original jurisdiction in a contempt

proceeding. Pursuant to the Ohio Constitution, we have no such authority.

Therefore, on this basis alone, we must dismiss his complaint.

CONCLUSION

Judge Brown's motion to dismiss is GRANTED. THIS CASE IS HEREBY

DISMISSED. COSTS TO PETITIONER. IT IS SO ORDERED.
