In re J.J.<br />

Case no. <strong>2006</strong>-0064<br />

Web cite <strong>2006</strong>-<strong>Ohio</strong>-5484<br />

When a trial court possesses subjectmatter<br />

jurisdiction over a case, a<br />

procedural error when transferring the<br />

case to a visiting judge is grounds for<br />

a timely objection, but does not void<br />

the trial court’s judgment by negating<br />

its subject-matter jurisdiction over the<br />

case. In addition, when two different<br />

panels <strong>of</strong> the same court <strong>of</strong> appeals issue<br />

conflicting rulings on a legal matter, the<br />

conflict may not be certified for review<br />

by the <strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Court</strong>, but must be<br />

resolved through an en banc session in<br />

which all judges <strong>of</strong> the court <strong>of</strong> appeals<br />

participate.<br />

<strong>State</strong> v. Stahl<br />

Case no. 2005-0773<br />

Web cite <strong>2006</strong>-<strong>Ohio</strong>-5482<br />

Rules that the admissibility at trial <strong>of</strong><br />

third-party hearsay testimony about<br />

statements that a since-deceased<br />

crime victim made during a medical<br />

examination depends on whether<br />

the statements were made under<br />

circumstances that would lead an<br />

objective witness reasonably to believe<br />

the statements would be available later<br />

for a trial.<br />

Summit App. No. 22261, 2005-<strong>Ohio</strong>-<br />

Am. Financial Servs. Assn. v. Cleveland<br />

Case nos. 2005-0160 and 2005-0161<br />

Web cite <strong>2006</strong>-<strong>Ohio</strong>-6043<br />

Holds three Cleveland city ordinances<br />

violate the home-rule provision <strong>of</strong><br />

the <strong>Ohio</strong> Constitution because state<br />

statutes setting regulatory guidelines for<br />

<strong>Ohio</strong> residential mortgage lenders are<br />

“general laws” to prescribe a uniform<br />

statewide regulatory scheme and<br />

provisions <strong>of</strong> the Cleveland ordinances<br />

conflict with the state law by prohibiting<br />

lending practices within the city that<br />

are implicitly permitted under the state<br />

statute.<br />

Cuyahoga App. No. 83676, 159<br />

<strong>Ohio</strong> App.3d 489, 2004-<strong>Ohio</strong>-6416.<br />
