Hoelzer v. Kacachos
| CA2024-12-141 | The common pleas court erred when it granted an estate's motion to dismiss, as probate courts lack jurisdiction over breach of contract claims and declaratory judgment claims involving contracts. The jurisdictional priority rule only applies when two courts have concurrent jurisdiction, and one is invoked first. The probate court did not have jurisdiction to resolve the contractual issue at issue and therefore the jurisdictional priority rule did not apply. WITH DISSENTING OPINION | Siebert | Butler |

Gherman v. Culberson
| CA2025-01-001, CA2025-01-002, CA2025-01-003, CA2025-01-004 | The trial court did not abuse its discretion in excluding evidence appellants attempted to present at the final hearing where that evidence was not disclosed in accordance with the trial court's scheduling order. The trial court did not err in granting civil stalking protection orders against appellants where there was ample credible evidence that appellants repeatedly threatened to cause appellees and appellee's children physical harm and engaged in other troublesome behaviors on a regular basis. The trial court did not err in denying appellant's petition for a civil stalking protection order against appellee where appellee denied engaging in the behavior described by appellant and such behavior could be characterized as merely annoying to appellant, not warranting a civil protection order. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in issuing a civil stalking protection order where the terms of the order bear a sufficient nexus to the conduct that the trial court is attempting to prevent and were designed to ensure the safety of the persons protected by the order. | Hendrickson | Clinton |

Stephens v. Spahn
| CA2024-11-022 | Plaintiff's wrongful death claim was properly dismissed by the trial court because plaintiff, who would be the beneficiary of that claim, did not do so within four years of the underlying malpractice that resulted in the decedent's death. Plaintiff's arguments that Ohio's statute of repose is unconstitutional were waived because the arguments and claim were not presented to or considered or decided by a lower court.

State v. Franklin
| CA2025-03-017 | The jury's verdict finding appellant was the operator of the truck who took police on a high speed chase after receiving an order or signal of a police officer to bring the truck to a stop was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where there was competent and credible evidence identifying appellant as the operator of the truck in question. The trial court also did not err, plain or otherwise, by failing to merge for purposes of sentencing appellant's convictions for failing to comply with the order or signal of a police officer in violation of R.C. 2921.331(B) and driving under suspension in violation of R.C. 4510.11(A) where the offenses were committed separately, one at the moment appellant began operating a truck with a suspended license and the other when appellant failed to comply with the order or signal of a police officer to bring the truck to a stop. | Piper | Warren |

Etter v. Etter
| CA2025-04-025 | Wife failed to meet her burden to provide competent and credible evidence showing husband intended the check he gave to wife for their marital home purchase to be a gift. Husband provided competent and credible evidence to support the trial court's property classifications. (1) A $198,000 check with "gift" in the memo line was not a gift from husband to wife where both parties testified the money was to be used by Wife to purchase their shared marital home; (2) money for the down payments on marital home and rental homes could be traced back to husband's accounts and thus remained his separate property; (3) other purchases of personal property by husband could be traced back to husband's accounts. | Siebert | Warren |

| CA2025-02-006 | Trial court's order disbursing funds to the property owners was a final appealable order under R.C. 2505.02(B)(1), as the order affects a substantial right and effectively determines the action, preventing future relief. Trial court erred by disbursing proceeds from a foreclosure sale to the property owners without resolving or accounting for a lien held by a party claiming a superior interest. | Siebert | Madison |

State v. Stevens
| CA2025-02-007 | Appellant's conviction for domestic violence is supported by the manifest weight of the evidence. During the bench trial, the trial court heard testimony from the victim and a responding police officer. The victim testified that appellant backed her into a bedroom, screamed at her, slapped the phone she was holding, and threatened to "send [her] to heaven today." She further testified that she was frightened and that appellant's behavior was uncharacteristic, describing him as "really angry" and saying "It wasn't even [like] him." Most notably, she testified "I thought he was going to really hurt me." While appellant argues differently, the trial court, as trier of fact, was in the best position to evaluate the evidence and assess witness credibility. | Siebert | Clinton |

| CA2025-01-004 | The domestic relations court did not err in its decisions regarding the amount and duration of its spousal support and child support awards, the division of property, or in its denial of the wife's request for a distributive award being issued to her from her former husband's separate property where none of the domestic relations court's decisions were unreasonable, arbitrary, or unconscionable so as to constitute an abuse of discretion when considering, among other things, the length of the parties' marriage and the standard of living that the parties established during their marriage. | Piper | Clermont |

State v. Edmonson
| CA2025-01-006; CA2025-01-007 | Trial court committed clerical error requiring nunc pro tunc correction where judgment entry incompletely described plea agreement terms by omitting reference to dismissed sexual motivation specification that eliminated defendant's life sentence exposure. Defendant's constitutional challenge to validity of guilty plea was moot where court determined that sexual motivation specification was eliminated from kidnapping charge, removing the factual basis for the due process claim. Trial court's imperfect plea colloquy did not invalidate defendant's guilty plea where defendant received adequate information about the charge through multiple sources and failed to demonstrate prejudice under Crim.R. 11(C). Trial court committed clerical error by mischaracterizing defendant's felonious-assault conviction as first-degree felony when statute classifies offense as second-degree felony, warranting correction through nunc pro tunc entry. | M.

Appellant waived the defense of lack of personal jurisdiction by appearing in the action without raising the defense in either his answer or in a motion filed prior to the filing of his answer. Appellate court was without jurisdiction to consider arguments relating to an order that appellant failed to timely appeal. | Hendrickson | Butler |

| CA2025-01-005 | School district not required to prove jurisdictional prerequisites for property tax complaint at initial filing. Jurisdiction properly established where statutory requirements existed at filing and were confirmed through administrative proceedings. Board of Tax Appeals did not err in refusing to dismiss school district's property tax complaint where district presented appraiser testimony and documentation sufficient to support statutory jurisdictional allegations at board of revision level. Board of Tax Appeals did not err in finding school district met jurisdictional requirements where sale price exceeded statutory thresholds. Board of Tax Appeals did not err in finding entity transfer constituted qualifying "sale" under property tax statute where LLC ownership transfer accomplished economic equivalent of real estate conveyance. Board of Tax Appeals did not err in allowing discovery to proceed during jurisdictional challenge where taxpayer failed to seek protective orders and school district had independently obtained transaction information through public sources. | M.

| CA2025-04-028 | The juvenile court's decision granting permanent custody of two of appellant's children to a children services agency was supported by sufficient evidence and not against the manifest weight of the evidence given the juvenile court's finding the evidence presented at trial clearly and convincingly showed that the problems that led to the children's removal from appellant's care had not been substantially remedied by appellant. This included, most notably, appellant's alleged continued and ongoing physical abuse of the children at issue. | Piper | Warren |

Appellant's actions in moving and restraining the victim's legs with his arm so that he could reach under her clothing to touch her pubic area was sufficient "force" for the offense of gross sexual imposition. Appellant's 18-month prison term was not clearly and convincingly contrary to law. | Hendrickson | Warren |

Bell v. Cedar Fair, LP
| CA2024-11-080 | The trial court erred by granting summary judgment in favor of the amusement park on the basis that the patrons failed to establish that the cell phone came from a rider on the roller coaster. There was a reasonable inference to support the patrons' claims and credibility issues are reserved for the role of the factfinder, not the court on summary judgment. However, the trial court did not err by granting summary judgment in favor of the amusement park for a different reason. In this case, the patrons failed to present expert testimony to establish the relevant standard of care. This was necessary because duty of care concerns the adequacy and placement of protective netting, a matter requiring specialized knowledge beyond the understanding of an ordinary juror. | Byrne | Warren |

Jury verdict finding no breach was against manifest weight of evidence where broker admitted delivered goods differed from those shown in inducing photographs. Photographic representations used to induce contract formation establish what parties bargained for and do not violate parol evidence rule. Trial court did not abuse discretion in excluding CFO's lay opinion testimony regarding reasonableness of equipment repair costs and percentage impact on project costs where testimony required specialized analytical conclusions beyond witness's personal knowledge under Evid.R. 701. | Hendrickson | Clermont |

Counsel is not ineffective where there is no evidence to demonstrate that counsel's performance created an unjust result or that the proceeding would have been different. A children's services agency engages in reasonable case planning where it creates a case plan that, if completed along with the necessary behavioral changes, could reunify the family. The juvenile court's decision awarding permanent custody of Mother's children to a children's services agency is supported by sufficient evidence and the greater weight of the evidence where the agency established that Mother had not remedied the concerns that led to the children's removal and that the children could not be placed with Mother within a reasonable time period. The juvenile court did not err in failing to sua sponte order a six-month extension of temporary custody pursuant to R.C. 2151.415(D) where there is no evidence to support that the children could be reunified with Mother within a reasonable time.
