This undated photo provided by Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction shows Derek Lichtenwalter. Lichtenwalter, who is serving a two-year sentence on a "failure to comply" charge has filed a lawsuit seeking release from Belmont Correctional Facility over fears of the coronavirus. The state on Monday asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit, saying Lichtenwalter doesn't have "a clear legal right to be released from prison due to the COVID-19 pandemic," a move that would require a court order, according to the state.
