State v. Clifton

CA2025-03-003

Defendant had history of mental health issues. Defendant began refusing to meet with counsel before trial and engaged in outbursts during trial. Defendant claimed ineffective assistance of counsel for failing to move for a competency hearing. Record did not contain sufficient indicia of incompetency to trigger duty to move for competency hearing. Refusal to meet with counsel appeared to be a choice. Outbursts during trial indicated frustration, not lack of capacity to understand proceedings or assist in defense.

4WH, L.L.C. v. HWD Holdings, L.L.C.

CA2024-09-117

Former business partners on development project appeal and cross-appeal summary judgment decision involving trespass, negligence, and fraud claims. Trial court correctly found one partner not liable for trespass and negligence where that partner was authorized to demolish building on other partner's land. Fraud claim was only partially dismissed and remained pending for trial. Because claim remained pending, there was no final order and the cross-appeal was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

In re M.S.M.B.

CA2026-01-004

The juvenile court's decision adjudicating appellant's daughter as a dependent child under R.C. 2151.04(C) was supported by the requisite clear and convincing evidence necessary to support such a decision, where the child would have effectively been rendered homeless had appellee, a local children's services agency, not stepped in and filed its complaint for dependency given the lack of any approved home in which the child could reside.
