Eldridge factors balanced in favor of appointing counsel in appellant's case. | Abele | Vinton |

Burchett v. Burchett
| 16CA3784 | Appellant forfeited any arguable error, and actually invited any alleged error, that might be associated with the trial court's decision not to hold a hearing on the appellant's contempt motion. Appellant (1) did not object when the court converted the contempt hearing into a pre-trial conference; (2) participated in the pre-trial conference; (3) responded to the appellee's motion to dismiss, and (4) failed to object, and thus acquiesced, when the court set the matter for a non-oral hearing. Generally, Ohio courts have recognized that a trial court does not abuse its discretion by not conducting a hearing on a contempt motion when no hearing was requested. | Abele | Scioto |

Cummin v. Cummin

In re M.H.-L.T.
| 17CA12 | Permanent custody-trial court's decision was not against the manifest weight of the evidence; Ineffective assistance of counsel-even if trial counsel performed deficiently by failing to object to alleged hearsay statements, remaining evidence amply supports trial court's decision. | Abele | Washington |
