On Tuesday, May 26, 2026, Gregory L. McDougall Jr. filed a notice of appeal in the Supreme Court of Ohio.
The appeal stems from a judgment entry of the Cuyahoga County Court of Appeals, Eighth Appellate District, in Court of Appeals Case Number 116244, entered on April 13, 2026.
McDougall, representing himself (pro se) and without legal counsel, asserts that this case invokes the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction due to substantial constitutional questions.
The underlying matter involves a motion by respondent Judge Anne Walton Keller to dismiss a writ of prohibition filed by McDougall.
The Court of Appeals granted this motion, finding that Judge Keller possessed the necessary subject-matter jurisdiction to hear misdemeanor cases and actions concerning the enforcement of temporary protection orders.
The court cited precedent stating that errors in the exercise of jurisdiction render a judgment voidable, not void.
