Ohio Court of Appeals · Decided October 23, 1931 · Allread, Hornbeck, Kunkxe
12 Ohio Law. Abs. 152; 1931 Ohio Misc. LEXIS 1145

State ex rel. Katz v. Walter

Opinion of the Court

HORNBECK, J.

Submitted on motion of respondent to dismiss the appeal for the reason that this court is without jurisdiction.

Memo is submitted with the motion to which, upon submission of the motion on the 7th of October, counsel for relator took leave to file answer brief within one day, if desired. Such brief has not been provided.

Upon the law of the case, we sustain the motion. There seems to be no doubt that the action of mandamus in Ohio is at law and not in chancery, therefore, under Article 4, §6, of the Constitution of Ohio, is not appealable.
