123 Ohio St.3d 132 (2009)

2009-Ohio-4184

CITY OF YOUNGSTOWN, Appellant, v. TRAYLOR, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided August 26, 2009.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph R. Macejko, Youngstown Prosecuting Attorney, for appellant.

James E. Lanzo, for appellee.

LUNDBERG STRATTON, J.

{¶ 1} Today we must decide whether a Youngstown ordinance that requires vicious dogs to be confined and requires the state to prove at trial that the dog is vicious or dangerous as an element of the offense violates procedural due process. Because we hold that the ordinance does not violate due process, we reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and reinstate the conviction.
