Respectfully submitted,
/s/ A.D.M. Miller Andrew D.M. Miller (0074515) Assistant City Attorney City of Columbus, Department of Law Richard C. Pfeiffer, Jr., City Attorney 77 North Front Street Columbus, Ohio 43215 (614) 645-6947 / (614) 645-6949 (fax)
Attorney for Respondent Herbert
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT
On November 6, 2014, pro se Relator Dwayne Harris commenced an original action in
procedendo against Respondents Paul Herbert, Maryellen O'Shaughnessy, and Elizabeth
Biggins. On November 25, 2014, Respondents O'Shaughnessy and Biggins filed a motion for
dismissal under Civ. R. 12(B)(6). The arguments for dismissal already proffered in that motion
are equally applicable to Respondent Herbert. Accordingly, Respondent Herbert incorporates
those arguments as if fully restated hear and requests dismissal upon the same grounds.
Moreover, Respondent Herbert is a judge on the Franklin County Municipal Court, and
the allegations of Relator's complaint in no way suggest that either Respondent Herbert or the
Franklin County Municipal Court has either refused to render any judgment or has delayed any
proceeding to a judgment.
In light of the foregoing, Respondent Paul Herbert respectfully moves this Court for an order dismissing him from this action.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ A.D.M. Miller Andrew D.M. Miller (0074515) Assistant City Attorney CITY OF COLUMBUS, DEPARTMENT OF LAW RICHARD C. PFEIFFER, JR., CITY ATTORNEY 77 North Front Street Columbus, Ohio 43215 (614) 645-6947 / (614) 645-6949 (fax)
