On Friday, August 1, 2025, Joshua E. Wilson filed a complaint for a writ of procedendo in the Supreme Court of Ohio, targeting Judge Susan D. Solle of the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas. The complaint alleges that Judge Solle failed to rule on multiple motions filed by Wilson, who is currently incarcerated at the London Correctional Institution. Wilson’s actions are part of a broader legal strategy to compel the court to act on his pending requests.
In his filing, Wilson cited a series of motions he submitted between January and April 2025, including requests for public records and a motion to compel his attorney to produce his case files. He claimed that despite several attempts to obtain rulings, Judge Solle had not responded to these motions in accordance with the Ohio Criminal Rules. Wilson’s submissions included a Motion for Public Records Request filed on January 7, a similar request on February 14, and a Motion to Preserve Evidence filed on February 20, among others.
The complaint asserts that the delay in rulings constitutes a failure to comply with legal standards, potentially violating Wilson’s rights to due process. Wilson called for the Supreme Court to exercise its jurisdiction and issue a writ compelling Judge Solle to take action on his motions. In his argument, he referenced legal precedents highlighting the necessity for timely judicial responses in cases such as his.
Wilson’s filings indicate a pattern of unresolved legal issues and motions that he argues have not received due attention. He maintains that the lack of judicial response has hindered his ability to pursue legal remedies effectively.
The Supreme Court of Ohio will now determine whether to grant Wilson’s request for a writ of procedendo, which, if approved, would compel Judge Solle to issue rulings on the outstanding motions.
