The State, ex rel. Waterman, v. Franklin County Board of Elections et al.
    (No. 38708
    Decided March 23, 1964.)
    
      Mr. Joseph Waterman, in propria persona.
    
    
      Mr. Earl W. Allison, Jr., prosecuting attorney, for respondent Franklin County Board of Elections and others.
    
      Mr. William B. Saxbe, attorney general, and Mrs. Joanne Wharton, for respondent Ted W. Brown, secretary of state.
   Per Curiam.

It appears that the address given by Foley is that of his divorced wife; and that, at the time the divorce was granted to his wife, about a year ago, he was enjoined from going into or near the home of his wife and from all visitation with his children. There is no evidence that he has established a voting residence elsewhere in the precinct.

The candidate, having been divorced from his wife and having been enjoined from going into or near the residence of his former wife, cannot properly say that he resides there-.

The writ of prohibition is allowed on authority of State, ex rel. Higgins, v. Brown, Secy. of State, 170 Ohio St., 511.

Writ allowed.
