The State, ex rel. Corrigan, Pros. Atty., v. Masten.
    [Cite as State, ex rel. Corrigan, v. Masten (1989), 43 Ohio St. 3d 66.]
    (No. 89-199
    Submitted April 25, 1989
    Decided May 3, 1989.)
    
      John T. Corrigan, prosecuting attorney, Patrick J. Murphy, Michael Pokorny and Michael P. Butler, for relator.
   Per Curiam.

Respondent has not challenged the allegations of the complaint, and relator has proved respondent’s convictions by submitting a copy of the judgment entered in State of Ohio v. Armond Masten (Oct. 12, 1984), Cuyahoga C.P. No. CR-190206, unreported. Accordingly, on the authority of State, ex rel. Corrigan, v. Haberek (1988), 35 Ohio St. 3d 150, 518 N.E. 2d 1206, we find that respondent is holding a seat on the Linndale Village Council unlawfully. We therefore grant relator’s motion for summary judgment and issue a writ of quo warranto ordering respondent’s immediate removal from the Linndale Village Council.

Judgment accordingly.

Moyer, C.J., Sweeney, Holmes, Douglas, Wright, H. Brown and Resnick, JJ., concur.
