MERIT DECISIONS WITHOUT OPINIONS

2004-0572.  Richey v. Mitchell.

Certified Question of State Law, No. 013477. On review of preliminary memoranda, motion for admission pro hac vice of Paul E. Nemser by Georgia Elizabeth Yanchar, motion for admission pro hac vice of Daryl L. Wiesen by Georgia Elizabeth Yanchar, and motion for admission pro hac vice of Kenneth J. Parsigian by Georgia Elizabeth Yanchar.  The court declines to answer the certified questions.  This cause is therefore dismissed.

Moyer, C.J., Resnick, F.E. Sweeney, Pfeifer, Lundberg Stratton and O?Connor, JJ., concur.

O?Donnell, J., dissents.

The motions for admission pro hac vice are granted.

What this means

This means basically that the Ohio Supreme Court took their time to not answer the questions posed by the federal court. What will come of it in the end remains to be seen, but as things stand the federal court will have to come to a decision on their own without the opinions of the Ohio Supreme Court.
