State Ex Rel. ken MacPherson, Relator, v. Trumbull County Board of Elections, Respondent.

Court of Appeals of Ohio, Eleventh District, Trumbull County.

March 18, 2011.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Harry J. DePietro , The DePietro Law Office, L.L.C., 7 West Liberty Street, Girard, OH 44420 (For Relator).

Dennis Watkins , Trumbull County Prosecutor, and James T. Saker , Assistant Prosecutor, Administration Building, Fourth Floor, 160 High Street, N.W., Warren, OH 44481-1092 (For Respondent).

PER CURIAM OPINION

PER CURIAM.

{¶ 1} This is an expedited election action for a writ of mandamus to compel a board of elections to place a candidate's name on the May 3, 2011 primary election ballot for a city council seat. Because the board of elections neither abused its discretion nor acted in clear disregard of applicable law by upholding a protest to the relator's candidacy, we deny the writ.
