State v. Waller, Unpublished Decision (11-4-2002)

DECISION AND JUDGMENT ENTRY

{¶ 1} Deborah Waller appeals her conviction in the Highland County Court for failing to send her minor daughter to school, a minor misdemeanor in violation of R.C. 3321.38. Waller asserts that we must vacate the trial court's judgment because the trial court did not have subject matter jurisdiction over the charges against her.

Accordingly, we vacate the judgment of the trial court.
