State ex rel. Ames v. Summit County Court of Common Pleas
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court dismissed this appeal from the court of appeals' dismissal of Appellant's petition for a writ of prohibition against Summit County Court of Common Pleas and Judge Mary Margaret Rowlands, holding that this cause was moot.
National Collegiate Student Loan Trust 2007-2 filed a civil action against Appellant in the court of common pleas. Judge Rowlands demised the case without prejudice and then reinstated the case after considering National Collegiate's motion for relief from judgment. Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of prohibition alleging that Judge Rowland lacked jurisdiction to issue the order reinstating the case. The court of appeals dismissed the petition for failure to state a claim. Appellant appealed. Judge Rowlands claimed that the appeal was moot because, during the pendency of the appeal, she dismissed National Collegiate's case a second time. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that the cause was moot and that no exception to the mootness doctrine applied.
