Watkins v. Equifax Information Servs., L.L.C.

C-250603

CIV.R. 12(B)(6) — 15 U.S.C. 1681g(a)(1) — FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT : The trial court’s dismissal of plaintiff’s complaint was erroneous because plaintiff’s claim that defendant credit reporting agency improperly truncated account numbers in plaintiff’s credit report set forth a plausible claim that defendant violated 15 U.S.C. 1681g(a)(1).

In re J.S.

C-260170

EVIDENCE — MANIFEST WEIGHT — SUFFICIENCY— PERMANENT CUSTODY: The award of permanent custody to the Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services (“JFS”) is supported by sufficient evidence where it is based on clear and convincing evidence showing Mother has not visited the child in excess of 90 days. The award of permanent custody to JFS is not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the award is supported by credible, competent evidence such that the ruling does not amount to a manifest miscarriage of justice.

Vandercar, L.L.C. v. Port of Greater Cincinnati Dev. Auth.

C-250025, C-250422

ATTORNEYS’ FEES — BAD FAITH — CIV.R. 60(B) — CIV.R. 37(C)(3)(A) — REQUEST FOR ADMISSIONS: The trial court erred as a matter of law when it granted plaintiff’s Civ.R. 60(B) motion where plaintiff improperly used Civ.R. 60(B) as a substitute for raising arguments that could have been addressed in a direct appeal. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that defendant did not act in bad faith where reasonable minds could differ as to whether the alleged misconduct rose to the level of bad faith. The trial court did not err in determining that plaintiff was not entitled to damages under Civ.R. 37(C)(3) because plaintiff’s requests for admissions were objectionable and therefore qualified under Civ.R. 37(C)(3)(a)’s safe-harbor provision.

In re D.D.

C-250545, C-250546, C-250547

SUFFICENCY — JUVENILE ADJUDICATION — DELINQUENCY — AGGRAVATED MENACING — IDENTIFICATION: Appellant’s delinquency adjudications for conduct that if committed by an adult would constitute three counts of aggravated menacing were not supported by sufficient evidence where the prosecution failed to prove defendant’s identification as the perpetrator beyond a reasonable doubt.
