10 Ohio Law. Abs. 555; 1931 Ohio Misc. LEXIS 1313
State ex rel. Snyder v. Leiter
Opinion of the Court
We are also of opinion that while the relator may be a de facto officer he cannot be considered as a de. jure officer as he has failed to qualify in the manner provided by the Code of Ohio.
Under the authorities cited the relator must show a prima facie right to the office claimed and such right cannot be based on the fact that he is a de facto officer. The petition must therefore be dismissed.
