The State, ex rel. Craig et al., v. Board of Elections of Muskingum County.
    (No. 74-902
    Decided October 11, 1974.)
    
      
      Messrs. Gottlieb, Johnston, Beam & Joseph, for rela-tors.
    
      Mr. Richard E. Bridwell, prosecuting attorney, for respondent Board of Elections.
    
      Messrs. Stubbins, Levion & Phillips, Messrs. Lucas, Prendergast, Albright, Gibson, Brown & Newman and Mr. Rankin M. Gibson, for intervenors.
   Per Curiam.

Relators seek to prevent the respondent hoard of elections from submitting a referendum to the electorate on a zoning ordinance. Respondent’s proposed action is at the direction of a writ of mandamus issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. Thus, upon the basis of State, ex rel. Flannery, v. Sidwell (1970), 24 Ohio St. 2d 74, a writ of prohibition is not appropriate in this case.

Writ denied.

O’Neill, C. J., Herbert, Corrigan, Steen, Oelebeezze, W. BROWN and P. Brown, JJ., concur.
