2. (1984) No legal right to back pay can be establishedbefom a civil service appointment or promotion has oc-cisrted: State ex ml. Gibbons v. Cleveland, 9 OS3d 216, 9OBR 216, 459 NE2d 892.
3. (1984) Since the effective date of relator s retirementas a municipal employee, although contested, can beclearly established, he may recover the appropriate salaryand benefits in a mandamus action: State ex ml. Villari v.Bedford Hu., 11 OS3d 222, 11 OBR 537, 465 NE2d 64.
4. (1986) The court of appeals did not abuse its discre-tion by assessing costs in fawr of relator as attomey fces:State ex ml. Gsavill v. Fuerst, 24 OS3d 12, 24 OBR 10, 492NE2d 809.
5. (1986) An award for punitive damages and attomeyfees is unprecedented in mandamus actions: Pmdoff v. Lo-rain Civil Serv. Comm., 33 OApp3d 97, 514 NE2d 892.
6. (1989) Under Ohio law, mandamus lies to compelreinstatement of wrongfully discharged civil servants;however, mandamus will only issue if the reletor demon-strates a clear legal right to the relief prayed for, that therespondent is under a clear legal duty to perforxn the actrequested, and the telator has no adequate remedy at law:Dwyer v. City of Middlemwn, 733 FSupp 264 (S.D.).
§ 2733.01
§ 2731.14 writ to force tax levy; countyauditor to levy and assess tax.
When a peremptory mandamus has beenawarded against a board of county commissioners,a board of township trustees, the legislative author-ity of a municipal corporation, or a board of edu-cation of a school district to levy and assess a tax topay interest upon a debt or to create a sinking fundfor the payment of a funded debt, and such officershave resigned, or refuse or neglect to levy and assesssuch tax, or their offices are vacant, upon the mo-tion of an interested person and on being satisfiedof the fact of such resignation, vaeancy, or refusalor neglect to levy such tax, and of the right of suchperson to have it levied and assessed, the court mayissue a special order to the puditor commandinghim to levy and assess upon the tnxable property ofthe county, township, or municipal corporntion thetaxes required by law, or by the judgment or orderof such court, to be levied and assessed for suchpurposes, and to place such taxes upon the dupli-cate for collection by the county treasurer.

1. (1982) An Ohio Court of Appeals wiB not entertain aquo werranto action challenging the selection of officersand directors of a foreign corporation, even tlsough the
§ 2305.02 PAGE'S OHIO REVISED CODE ANNOTATED
brought in either the court of claims or the court of com-mon plees: Beatley v. Bd. of 1lvstees, 4 OApp3d 1, 4 OBR20, 446 NE2d 182.
3. (1984) Courts of common pleas are without jurisdic-tion to proceed in actions for declamtory or injunctive re-lief involving contmversies under the environmental pm-tection provisions of BC Chapter 3745.: State ex rel.Maynard v. Wtdtfield, 12 OS3d 49, 12 OBR 42, 465 NE2d406.
4. (1984) After an action has been fully litigated in thedomestic relations division of common pleas court and ajudgment entry has been filed granting a divorce and pro-vidtng for the division of property, the exclusive jurisdio-tion is terminated. At that point, there exists concurrentjutisdietion with the general division of common pleascourt: Price v. Price, 16 OApp3d 93, 16 OBR 98, 474NE2d 662.
5. (1984) Although sovereign Immunity is no longer aviable defense, a court of common pleas has no jurisdirrtion over a suit against the state involving a claim whichpreviously would have been barrcd by the doctrine of sov-ereign immunity since BC § 2743.03 vests in the Court of
I
Claims exclusive, original jurisdiction over all such suitsagainst the state: Buerger v. Office of Public Defender, 17OApp3d 29. 17 OBR 82, 477 NE2d 1170.
6. (1985) An action against the state for negligencewhere such a cause of action exists, may osdy be bmughtin the Court of Cleims, not in a court of common pleas.RC § 2743.02(A): Von Hoene v. State, 20 OApp3d 363, 20OBB 467, 486 NE2d 868.
7. (1985) An allegation tlsat state officers or employeesacted to cause plaintiffs injury "with snalicious purpose,in bad faith or in a wanton or reckless manner' is sufHc-ient to give the common pleas court jurisdictian over thenamed defendants and to state a claim upon which mliefcan be granted, and the complaint will survive a motionto dismiss filed under CivR 12(B)(2) and (B)(6). RC §2743.02(A)(1) and (2): Von Hoene v. State, 20 OApp3d363, 20 OBR 467, 486 NE2d 868.
8. (1986) Generally, Ohio's courts of common pleashave originel jurisdiction over civil actions crommeneedagainst counties and their agencies. (Section 4, Article IVof the Ohio Constitutions; RC § 2305.01.): Burr v. StarkCty. Bd. of Commrs., 23 OS3d 09, 23 OBR 200, 491 NE2d1101.
9. (1985) In the context of C§ 2743.02(A)(1), "thecourt" means the Court of Claims. Thus, where a plaintiffhas simultaneous actions pending in a court of commonpleas and the Court of Claims against a state defendantand several state employees, the court of common pleasmust defer to a ruling by the Court of Claims as towhetlser the employees acted "with malicious purpose, inbad faith, or in a wanton or recldess n.anner:" Mcintosh v.Univ of Cincinnati, 24 OApp3d 116, 24 OBR 187, 493NE2d 321.
10. (1987) A court of common pleas does not lack juris-dietion over an action against state officers or employeesmerely because the Court of Claims has not first deter-mined that the act or omission, which is the subject of theaction, was manifestly outside the scope of the offscer s oremployee s offsce or employment, or that the officer oremployee acted with malicious purpose, in bad faith, or ina wanton or recldess manner, unless the aggrieved partyhas filed a suit in the Court of Claims based on the sameact or omission: Coopemsan v. Univ Surgical Assoc., 32OS3d 191, 513 NE2d 288.
11. 0987) Pursuant to RC §§ 3335.03 am2743.02(A)(1), an action in contract may be brouglilagainst the Board ofTrustees of the Ohio State Untversitin the court of common pleas: Schwasz Y. Bd. of Trusof Ohio State Univ., 31 OS3d 267, 31 OBR 493, 510 NE808.
12. (1987) The courts of common pleas possess jurisdiq.^^tbn to entertain federal claims seeking psvspective injunC
tive relief brought under Section 1983, Title 42, U.SCode, against individual state offlcers in their official c8^pacities, in order to redress alleged deprivations of righprivileges or immunities guaranteed by the United SConstitution: 8chwarz v Bd. of Trustees of Ohio Stat9Univ., 31 OS3d 267, 31 OBR 493, 510 NE2d 808.
13. (1988) A court of common pleas hasno jurisdictioito consider a post-judgment motion requesting a eourt oder directing the payment of attorney fees, where w,motion is filed by a non-party and.where the oomplainlcontains no cause of action for attorney fees. Since sucljurisdiction does not exist, it may not be "resesved" bycourt in its 9na1 judgment: Seven Hills v. Cleveland, 4OApp3d 159, - NE2d

4. (1988) where fields of medicine overlap and a givenpmcedum may be performed by more than one type ofspecialist, a witness may be qualified as an expert in amalpractice action even though his practice is not in thesame spectalty es the defendant; the test is whether theexpert will aid the trier of fact in the search for the truth,not whether the expert will be the best witness on thesubject: King v.

) .55A fi A v.,
) L-La)
Before: GUY, DAUGHTRBY, and CLAY, Circuit Judges.
APR 2 7 2006
LEONqRD GRFj, Clerk
Levert K. Griffin, an Ohio prisoner proceeding pro se, moves the Court for an order
authorizing the district court to consider a third petition for a writ of babeas corpus filed pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The Ohio Attomey General has filed a response.
On July 16,2002, Griffin pleaded guiltyto trafficking in marijuana, possession of marijuana,
and the illegal use of food stamps. He was sehtenced to serve seven months incarceration for the
drug offenses and seven months for the illegal use 6f food stamps offense. The sentences were
ordered to be served concurrently. After failing a stipulated polygraph test, given August 12, 2002,
Griffin pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana. The trial court then sentenced Griffm to serve two
years in prison.
On August 12, 2005, Griffin filed his first federal petition for a writ of habeas corpus listing
only the following single ground: "Request/Motion to Certify" with no further explanation. The
district court denied the petition after concluding that Griffin had not stated any intelligible bases or
No. 05-4583-2-
grounds for relief. A motion for reconsideration and a motion to dismiss without pre,]udice were
denied on October 31, 2005. No appeal was taken from the district court's decision.
Griffin filed another habeas petition in the district court which was transferred to this Court
for permission to file a successive federal habeas corpus petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244. In
his second petition, Griffin raised the following two grounds for relief:
1. Denial of Effective Assistance of Counsel.
Supporting Facts: It was a plea agreement by the parties per Crim. R. 11(f) whichwas under a contract in the civil Court of Common Pleas, Summit County, OI4,, [sic]Case No. CV 02 12 7300, and that contract was broke breached [sic] by the parties.Therefore I have two (2) pending lawsuits on the parties duly docketed and filedunder Case No. 05CV2543, L.K.Griffin, PLTF., vs. B. Walsh, ET ALPROSECUTOR and Case No. 05 11 6574, L.K. GRIFF'IN PLFT., vs. L.SMTTH,ESQ.
2. Malicious prosecution and malpractice. [sic].
Supporting Facts: Pending.
To obtain authorization under § 2244(b), a petitioner must make a prima facie showing that
(1) a new rule of constitutional law made retroactive by the Supreme Court applies to the petitioner's
case; or (2) there is a newly discovered factual predicate showing the petitioner's actual innocence.
28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(2), (b)(3)(C).
Griffin has not cited to any new rule of constitutional law that applies to his case. Nor has
Griffin argued in his claims that he has new evidence showing that he is innocent. Therefore,
Griffin's motion lacks merit.
Accordingly, Griffin's motion to authorize the district court to consider a second or
successive § 2254 petition is denied.
ENTERED BY ORDER OF THE COURT
