THE STATE OF OHIO, APPELLEE, v. CLINGERMAN, APPELLANT. 
[Cite as State v. Clingerman, 115 Ohio St.3d 374, 2007-Ohio-5236.] 
Sex-offender-classification hearing — Court of appeals’ judgment reversed on the 
authority of State v. Wilson and cause remanded. 
(No. 2007-1053 — Submitted August 14, 2007 — Decided October 11, 2007.) 
CERTIFIED by the Court of Appeals for Trumbull County, 
No. 2006-T-0031, 2007-Ohio-2300. 
__________________ 
{¶ 1} This cause is before the court upon the certification of a conflict by 
the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Appellate District.  The court determines 
that the conflict has been resolved by our recent decision in State v. Wilson, 113 
Ohio St.3d 382, 2007-Ohio-2202, 865 N.E.2d 1264. 
{¶ 2} Because the court of appeals applied a criminal manifest-weight-
of-the-evidence standard, the judgment of the court of appeals is reversed on the 
authority of State v. Wilson, and the cause is remanded to the court of appeals for 
application of the civil manifest-weight-of-the-evidence standard consistent with 
State v. Wilson.

JJ., concur. 
 
LANZINGER, J., concurs in judgment only.
