Judge Calabrese Sat on Ohio Supreme Court
According to a recent Ohio Supreme Court Press Release, Judge Anthony O. Calabrese, Jr. of our local Eighth District Court of Appeals, recently sat as a visiting judge on the Supreme Court of Ohio in the case of State of Ohio v. Christopher Mays, (No. 2007-1302), which involved a driver who was stopped when he went right of the road edge line. Mays' counsel challenged the stop as in conflict with a decision of the Third District Court of Appeals in State v. Phillips (Case No. 8-04-25). Reports indicate that Judge Calabrese was both honored and "humbled" by his appointment. The video of the oral argument in Mays can be found at the Supreme Court's website. The last time Judge Calabrese served as a visiting Judge at the Supreme Court was November of 2006.
