• 2026 Ohio 1099

Syllabus

Complaint for a writ of prohibition dismissed. Relator, the Ohio Attorney General, did not demonstrate the Probate Court patently and unambiguously acted outside of its inherent authority when appointing the Attorney General to act as a special prosecutor in proceedings seeking the removal of elected municipal officials accused of misfeasance or malfeasance because the city's director of law and the county prosecutor (the statutorily proscribed prosecutors of such cases) asserted conflicts of interest.
