{¶ 1} This consolidated appeal came before this court upon (1) this court’s grant of jurisdiction of the state’s discretionary appeal and (2) the certification of the Ninth District that its judgment in this case conflicted with the judgment of the Tenth District Court of Appeals in State v. Astley (1987), 36 Ohio App.3d 247, 523 N.E.2d 322. We now dismiss this consolidated appeal.

{¶ 2} 1. In case No. 2002-1147, this court granted discretionary review to determine whether the trial court abused its discretion in excluding evidence of potential witness bias. This cause is dismissed, as having been improvidently accepted.

{¶ 3} 2. In case No. 2002-1231, the Ninth District certified the following question:

{¶ 4} “Whether only physical stimulation, and not actual contact or touching, of the penis by the mouth of another person is required to prove ‘fellatio,’ which is not statutorily defined under the Ohio Revised Code.”

{¶ 5} Upon a careful review of this cause, this court determines that the certified case is not in conflict with Astley. Since no genuine conflict exists, this cause is dismissed, as having been improvidently certified.

Appeal dismissed.
