No. 444
    No. 19759.
    Nathan C. Hirsch vs Harry L. Conn, Superintendent of Insurance.
    Error to the Court of Appeals of Franklin County.
    647. INSURANCE — 1. Court of appeals not authorized to entertain action to take possession and conduct business of insurance company.
    2. Where ultimate purpose is to disolve the company, quo warranto is proper remedy, and court of appeals has proper jurisdiction thereof.
   MARSHALL, C. J.

The court of appeals has no authority under section 634-2, General Code, to entertain an action to take possession of and conduct the business of an insurance company. Where the ultimate purpose of a proceeding is to oust an insurance corporation, the dissolution thereof and distribution of its assets being an incident thereto, the action is one in quo warranto and the court of appeals has jurisdiction thereof.

Judgment affirmed.

Day; Allen and Kinkade, JJ., concur.
