Ohio Supreme Court January 26, 2000, No. 99-1344 (State ex rel. State Fire Marshal v. Curl)

lead-opinion

Per Curiam.

The State Fire Marshal asserts that he is entitled to the requested extraordinary relief in prohibition and mandamus. If a lower court patently and unambiguously lacks jurisdiction to proceed in a cause, prohibition and mandamus will issue to prevent any future unauthorized exercise of jurisdiction and to correct the results of prior jurisdictionally unauthorized actions.
