In re Adoption of H.L.M.M.
| 8-26-13 | Adoption; Consent to Adoption; R.C. 3107.07(A); Justifiable Cause; Civ.R. 53; Independent Review; Untimely Transcript; Manifest Weight of the Evidence. The trial court acted within its broad discretion under Civ.R. 53 when it sua sponte considered an untimely filed transcript to conduct an independent review of the magistrate's decision. Upon independent review, the trial court properly exercised its ultimate fact-finding authority by rejecting the magistrate's credibility determinations and refusing to rely on unadmitted evidence. The trial court's subsequent determination that the mother-appellant lacked justifiable cause for failing to have more than de minimis contact with or support the child during the statutory one-year lookback period is supported by competent, credible evidence and is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. | Zimmerman | Logan |

State v. Perkins
| 1-25-43 | Motion to Suppress Evidence; Ineffective Assistance of Counsel; Sufficiency of Evidence; Manifest Weight; Tampering with Evidence. The trial court did not err by denying defendant-appellant's motion to suppress evidence. Defendant-appellant failed to demonstrate that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. Defendant-appellant's tampering-with-evidence conviction was not against the sufficiency or manifest weight of the evidence. | Miller | Allen |

Marysville v. Vallarta, Ltd.
| 14-26-07 | Personal Jurisdiction; Mootness; Remand. Personal jurisdiction is the court's power to render a judgment against a party. The filing of a criminal complaint invokes the jurisdiction of the court over the named defendant. If the criminal action proceeds against an individual not formally accused or charged, the trial court lacks personal jurisdiction over that individual and errs by accepting a plea or by sentencing that person instead of the formally charged defendant. On remand from an appellate decision, the proceeding should generally return to the point at which the error occurred and then move forward from that point towards its resolution. An argument is moot if the resolution of another issue on appeal renders that argument of no consequence to the determination of existing legal rights on appeal. | Willamowski | Union |
