Narrative Opinion Summary
The court addresses a complaint for a writ of mandamus related to an expedited election. After reviewing the respondent’s answer and a motion for summary judgment, as well as a motion to intervene by the North Royalton Residents Involvement Committee, the court reclassifies the relator's action from mandamus to prohibition. An alternative writ is granted, and a briefing schedule is established: parties must submit evidence by April 20, 1995; the relator’s brief is due on the same date; the respondent’s brief is due by April 24, 1995; and any reply brief from the relator is due by April 27, 1995. The motion to intervene is denied by the court, although Chief Justice Moyer and Justices Douglas and F.E. Sweeney express support for granting the intervention.
