                                            BEFORE:
            William A. Klatt, Retired Judge of the Tenth District Court of Appeals,
                                     Sitting by Assignment,

Atty. David A. Wallace and Atty. Karen M. Cadieux, Carpenter Lipps & Leland LLP, for
Plaintiff-Appellee U.S. Bank National Association as Trustee (No Response Filed) and

Ronald J. Smith and Nancy L. Smith, Defendants-Appellants.

                                       Dated: February 13, 2024
                                                                                       –2–

PER CURIAM.

       {¶1}   This matter is before us on the Motion to Certify Conflicts with Other
Appellate Districts pursuant to App.R. 25 filed by Appellants, Ronald J. Smith and Nancy
L. Smith on January 4, 2024, acting pro se. The motion constitutes Appellants’ second
motion to certify conflict and ninth post-judgment motion/application.
       {¶2}   In the roughly six months following the issuance of our merits decision on
June 12, 2023, Appellants have filed an application for reconsideration of the merits
decision and a motion to certify conflict (June 21, 2023); an application for rehearing en
banc, a second application to reconsider the original application for reconsideration of the
merits decision, and an application to reconsider our decision on the motion to certify
conflict (September 29, 2023); an application to reconsider the three applications filed on
September 29, 2023 (December 20, 2023); and the pending second motion to certify
conflict.
       {¶3}   As Appellants have previously exhausted their rights under App.R. 25 and
26, Appellants’ second motion to certify conflict is overruled. Further, Appellants are
cautioned any additional filing(s) seeking review of our June 12, 2023 opinion by way of
App.R. 25 and 26 may result in the imposition of sanctions.
