COOK, J., dissenting.  Mootness warrants dismissal of the appeal rather 
than affirmance of the judgment of the court of appeals.  See, e.g., State ex rel. 
Santora v. Cuyahoga Cty. Bd. of Elections (1962), 174 Ohio St. 11, 21 O.O.2d 35, 
185 N.E.2d 438. 
 
LUNDBERG STRATTON, J., concurs in the foregoing dissenting opinion.
