THE STATE, EX REL. WOODS, APPELLEE, v. KRAFT, JUDGE, APPELLANT.

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided May 30, 1979.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Latimer & Swing Co., L. P. A., and Mr. Albert J. Mestemaker, for appellee.

Mr. Simon L. Leis, Jr., prosecuting attorney, and Mr. Leonard Kirschner, for appellant.


Per Curiam.

C. 2945.37 provides that in a sanity hearing, "[t]he court shall not find a defendant incompetent to stand trial solely * * * because he is receiving or has received psychotropic drugs or other medication under medical supervision, even though without such drugs or medication the defendant might become incompetent to stand trial." Thus, we find that this appeal is moot.
