Re: Writ of Mandamus-Jury Verdict FormsState of Ohio v. Hakeem Sult.aana, CR 571616

Dear Mr. Sultaana:

I received a copy of your Emergency Writ of Mandamus from the Cuyahoga County LawDepartmerit. Please be advised that the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts has no record of you making aPublic Records Request for the Jury Verdict forms from your above-captioned criminal case.

I did provide a copy of the Jury Verdict forms to Cullen Sweeney from the Cuyahoga CountyPublic Defender's Office who, I understand, was counsel handling your appeal. These records wereprovided to Mr. Sweeney on 10/29/14.

:^.

,.^

Y

Encfosed are copies of the Jury Verdict forms from your above-captioned criminal case. Asjuror's names are not public record,1 I redacted the bottom pertinn of each form where the jurors'names/signatures were contained.

Let me know if you need any additional information.
