Head Matter:
The State, ex rel. Craig et al., v. Board of Elections of Muskingum County.
(No. 74-902
Decided October 11, 1974.)
Messrs. Gottlieb, Johnston, Beam & Joseph, for rela-tors.
Mr. Richard E. Bridwell, prosecuting attorney, for respondent Board of Elections.
Messrs. Stubbins, Levion & Phillips, Messrs. Lucas, Prendergast, Albright, Gibson, Brown & Newman and Mr. Rankin M. Gibson, for intervenors.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Relators seek to prevent the respondent hoard of elections from submitting a referendum to the electorate on a zoning ordinance. Respondent's proposed action is at the direction of a writ of mandamus issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. Thus, upon the basis of State, ex rel. Flannery, v. Sidwell (1970), 24 Ohio St. 2d 74, a writ of prohibition is not appropriate in this case.
Writ denied.
O'Neill, C. J., Herbert, Corrigan, Steen, Oelebeezze, W. BROWN and P. Brown, JJ., concur.
