Questions presented
- Is the Ohio Vexatious Litigator Statue, ORC 2323.52, Unconstitutional on the basis of vagueness and insufficient standards? Is it subject to abuse on these bases? Does it illegally restrict a party’s First Amendment Right to Court Access and violate Federal law with respect to filing restrictions? 2. Was the Ohio Vexatious Litigator Statute applied in a Constitutional manner with respect to Petitioner? 3. Circuit Splits: The Ohio Vexatious Litigator Statute is in contrast to all other jurisdictions and Federal standards. See 9th Circuit example “Cromer v Kraft Foods Inc.” 390 F.3d 812, infra. It provides no objective criteria by which a party is found to be vexatious or the grounds on which “leave to proceed” can be granted after a party is designated “vexatious”.
