MOTION AND PROCEDURAL RULINGS

On review of order certifying a conflict. The court determines that a conflict exists. The parties are to brief the issue stated in the court of appeals’ Judgment Entry filed March 29, 2006:

“In a traffic law enforcement citation for `excessive speed,’ does the complaint fail, as a matter of law, to charge a necessary element of the offense if it does not also allege that the speed is `prima-facie’ unlawful and the speed alleged isnot charged as a `per se’ violation of the applicable traffic code?”

RESNICK, PFEIFER and O’DONNELL, JJ., dissent.

The conflict case is State v. Oglesby (Sept. 1, 2000), Erie App. Nos. E-99-077 and E-99-076.
