Jones v. Bontempo, No 5526

No 5526 | Ohio Ct. App. | Jan 15, 1938

OPINION

By THE COURT

The Common Pleas Court of Hamilton county sustained a motion to quash service of summons upon the State Board of Barber Examiners, and it is that order -which we are asked to review on this appeal. Before doing so, we are required to examine the record to determine whether the Court of Common Pleas has entered a final order or judgment, because this court’s jurisdicion is limited to reviewing judgments or final orders.

An examination of the record shows that the Common Pleas Court has not entered a dismissal of the action. It has confined its action to quashing a service of summons. This court has no jurisdiction to review that action until it is given finality by a judgment of dismissal.

A similar situation was presented in the case of Putthoff v Owens-Illinois Glass Co., No. 5431, on the docket of this court, recently decided, to the opinion in which reference is made for the reasons and authorities for our conclusion.
