State ex rel. Ramirez-Ortiz v. Twelfth District Court of Appeals

In this original action, Relator sought a writ of prohibition to bar the Twelfth District Court of Appeals from hearing the State’s appeal of the trial court’s judgment of acquittal under Ohio R. Crim. P. 29(A). The appellate court filed a motion to dismiss, and Relator asked for leave to amend his complaint. The Supreme Court granted Relator’s motion for leave to amend, denied the appellate court’s motion to dismiss, and granted a peremptory writ of prohibition barring the Court of Appeals from hearing the State’s appeal, holding that the Twelfth District failed to show that it had jurisdiction to hear the State’s appeal.
