State ex rel. Capretta v. Zamiska

Following an evidentiary hearing, the Brunswick City Council removed Appellant, a city council member, from office for violating section 3.05(b) of the Brunswick Charter. Afterwards, Appellee was appointed to fill the vacancy created by Appellant's removal. Appellant filed an administrative appeal from the city council's decision, and the court of common pleas affirmed. The court of appeals dismissed the appeal based on mootness. Before the common pleas court decided his administrative appeal, Appellant filed a writ of quo warranto requesting that Appellee be ousted and that he be restored to the office of council member. The court of appeals denied the writ. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant failed to establish that the court of appeals erred in denying the requested extraordinary relief in quo warranto. View "State ex rel. Capretta v.
