Syllabus

Mandamus; prohibition; jurisdiction; priority of jurisdiction rule; forcible entry and detainer action; quiet title claim; fraud; amendment of pleadings; and unprofessional behavior. This court dismissed a complaint for mandamus and prohibition. The priority of jurisdiction rule did not apply; a forcible entry and detainer action in municipal court does not deprive the common pleas court of jurisdiction to adjudicate claims of quiet title and fraud between the same parties and the same parcel of property. Unprofessional behavior by a judge, even if true, does not deprive the judge of jurisdiction. The relator did not properly seek to amend her complaint.
