Re: Speedy Trial

In compliance with O.R.C. � 2941.40, the Defendant must provide the Clerk of

Courts and Prosecutors office with a written notice and request for final disposition. If the State has failed to bring him to trial within the 180 days as required, the appropriate remedy under R.C. � 2941.40 is a dismissal of all charges for the denial of a speedy trial as requested.
