STATE, EX REL. CHANDLER, v. BUTLER

No. 91-577.

61 Ohio St.3d 592 (1991)

THE STATE, EX REL. CHANDLER, v. BUTLER ET AL.

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided August 28, 1991.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jerry W. Chandler, pro se.

Fay DuPuis, City Solicitor, and Kim Wilson Burke, for respondents Jeff Butler et al.

Christian J. Schaefer, assistant prosecuting attorney, for respondent Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney.

Per Curiam.

The undisputed facts show that the $4,815 in question was forfeited, pursuant to federal law. See Section 881, Title 21, U.S.Code. Under Article VI of the United States Constitution, the federal Constitution and laws of the United States are made "the supreme law of the land." Since the money was forfeited under federal law, it is immaterial what R.C. 2933.43 states about its return. Relator's claim, if any, is against the federal government.
