Reed v. Kinkela.

Opinion:
In Habeas Corpus. Sua sponte, writ allowed. Allowing the writ means only that a return is ordered. See Workman v. Warden (1997), 80 Ohio St.3d 1479, 687 N.E.2d 474; Pegan v. Crawmer (1995), 73 Ohio St.3d 607, 609, 653 N.E.2d 659, 661. Respondents are ordered to file a return of writ within thirty days of service of the petition, and petitioner may file a response within twenty days after the return. Petitioner's physical presence before this court is not required. Gaskins v. Shiplevy (1996), 76 Ohio St.3d 380, 382, 667 N.E.2d 1194, 1196.
