    Dunn v. Smith.
   In Habeas Corpus. On petition for writ of habeas corpus of Andrew Dunn.

Sua sponte, the writ is allowed. Allowing the writ means only that a return is ordered. See Reed v. Kinkela (1998), 84 Ohio St.3d 1427, 702 N.E.2d 903; Hernandez v. Kelly, 107 Ohio St.3d 1430, 2005-Ohio-6400, 838 N.E.2d 670.

Respondent shall file a return of writ within 21 days of service of the petition and petitioner may file a response within ten days after the return is filed. Petitioner’s physical presence before the court will not be required.

O’Connor and O’Donnell, JJ., dissent and would dismiss the cause.
