In Columbus, Ohio, The Columbus Dispatch reports:

• The Ohio Supreme Court has dismissed a complaint against three Franklin County judges who are requiring lawyers to verify the authenticity of the documents they file in home foreclosures.
• Six lawyers challenged the action in December, asking the Supreme Court to prohibit the judges from ordering them to sign "certifications" on behalf of their clients.(1) The Franklin County prosecutor's office filed a motion in January to have the complaint dismissed, which the Supreme Court granted yesterday without comment.
