State, ex rel. Metzger v. Brown (1964), 1 Ohio Misc. 70. If no action has been taken, a resignation may be subject to withdrawal; if there has been action by the appointing authority in reliance upon the resignation by filling the vacancy created thereby, the doctrine of estoppel may be effectively invoked against the individual who has resigned.
