Brockington v. Rhodes
Mandamus proceeding to compel Governor of Ohio and others to place plaintiff's name on ballot for November, 1968 election as an independent candidate for United States House of Representatives from a particular district. The Court of Common Pleas denied writ of mandamus, and appeal was taken. The Court of Appeals for the Eighth Judicial District affirmed the judgment, and appeal was taken. The Supreme Court of Ohio dismissed the appeal for want of a substantial constitutional question, and plaintiff appealed. The Supreme Court held that case was moot because congressional election was over.
Judgment of Supreme Court of Ohio vacated and cause remanded for such proceedings as that court might deem appropriate.
Benjamin Sheerer, Cleveland, Ohio, for appellant.
Robert D. Macklin, Columbus, Ohio, for appellees.
PER CURIAM.
