Donenfeld's, Inc. v. Gerdes
Ohio Court of Appeals · Decided January 19, 1933 · Snediker
14 Ohio Law. Abs. 164; 1933 Ohio Misc. LEXIS 1690

Donenfeld's, Inc. v. Gerdes

Opinion of the Court

SNEDIKER, J.

We take judicial notice of this condition from the proceedings which have been had in this court and we think we are justified in considering them in connection with this motion which is before us on appeal, or de novo. It will be apparent, therefore, that not only was this money in custodia legis at the time of issuing the. writ of garnishment, but the plaintiff is endeavoring to involve the state of Ohio in litigation, which cannot be done without its consent; and no such consent has ever been given.

It is our opinion, therefore, that this motion ought to be sustained, for the reason that the magistrate’s court has no jurisdiction to serve the superintendent of banks or to make an order against him for the payment of the money.

The motion is sustained.
