Janine Lycan et al. v. City of Cleveland, Case No. 2020-0341
Eighth District Court of Appeals (Cuyahoga County)

ISSUES:
- Must those appealing a traffic-camera citation seek an administrative hearing and an appeal to the common pleas court before they can take any other judicial action, including initiating a class-action lawsuit against a municipality?
- Is payment of a photo enforcement citation an admission of guilt and a final judgment, barring any further legal action under the theory of "res judicata"?
