2002-1196. Lane v. State Auto Ins. Cos.
Miami App. No. 2001-CA-59, 2002-Ohio-2698. This cause is pending before the
court as a discretionary appeal. On July 15, 2002, appellant filed a notice that a
motion to certify a conflict was pending in the court of appeals and, pursuant to
S.Ct.Prac.R. IV(4)(A), this court stayed consideration of the jurisdictional
memoranda filed in this appeal. Whereas appellant has neither notified this court
that the court of appeals determined that a conflict does not exist as provided by
S.Ct.Prac.R. IV(4)(B), nor filed a copy of the court of appeals' order certifying the
existence of a conflict as provided by S.Ct.Prac.R. IV(4)(C),
IT IS ORDERED by the court, sua sponte, that appellant show cause within
20 days of this entry why this court should not proceed to consider the
jurisdictional memoranda in this appeal pursuant to S.Ct.Prac.R. III(6).
