State v. Pruitt
| 1-23-71 | COMMUNITY-CONTROL REVOCATION; FELONY SENTENCING; R.C. 2953.08(G)(2); R.C. 2929.14(B)(4); CRIM.R. 32(A)(1); RIGHT TO ALLOCUTION. The defendant-appellant’s sentence is not contrary to law because the trial court complied with the requirements of R.C. 2929.19(B)(4) and Crim.R. 32(A)(1). The trial court properly advised the defendant-appellant of the maximum prison sentence that could be imposed if he violated his community-control sanctions but imposed a lesser term. The trial court did not violate the defendant-appellant’s right to allocution by denying him the opportunity to respond to additional statements made by the trial court at sentencing because no new information was presented. | Zimmerman | Allen |

State v. Henry
| 5-24-12; 5-24-13 | R.C. 1.58; R.C. 2967.28; Applicability of statutory reduction in post-release control time to a defendant whose sentencing was delayed due to the defendant absconding and during which time the amended statute took effect. Pursuant to R.C. 1.58, the trial court erred in failing to apply an amended version of R.C. 2967.28 in ordering the terms of post-release control at the time of sentencing in this case, when that amended statute took effect prior to the time of the defendant's sentencing. | Waldick | Hancock |

Price v. Price
| 8-24-06 | Summary Contempt Proceeding; Immediate threat to the proceedings.

State v. Buckner
| 15-24-02 | Aggravated Burglary; R.C. 2911.11(A)(1); Force, Stealth, or Deception; Lesser-Included-Offense Jury Instruction. Defendant-appellant did not demonstrate he is entitled to plain-error relief where the jury instructions did not include an instruction concerning the lesser-included offense of trespass. The evidence was not insufficient as a matter of law to sustain defendant-appellant's conviction for aggravated burglary. Defendant-appellant's conviction for aggravated burglary was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. | Miller | Van Wert |

| 12-23-06 | KNOWING, INTELLIGENT, VOLUNTARY GUILTY PLEA; CRIM.R. 11(E); PETTY OFFENSE; CRIM.R. 44(B), (C); WAIVER OF RIGHT TO COUNSEL. The defendant-appellant did not knowingly, intelligently, or voluntarily waive his right to counsel when pleading guilty to a misdemeanor offense. Because the defendant-appellant did not knowingly, intelligently, or voluntarily waive his right to counsel prior to entering his plea, the defendant-appellant’s imposition of a sentence of confinement is vacated. | Zimmerman | Putnam |

Price v. Aspen Dental
| 4-24-14 | Civ.R. 12(B)(6); Motion to dismiss; Dental malpractice. The trial court did not err in granting the defendant-appellee's Civ.R. 12(B)(6) motion to dismiss on the basis that the plaintiff-appellant failed to name individual dentists as defendants in the plaintiff's dental malpractice complaint. | Waldick | Defiance |

In re J.C.
| 5-24-01; 5-24-02; 5-24-03 | PERMANENT CUSTODY; REASONABLE EFFORTS; ANDERS BRIEF. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by determining that Children’s Protective Services Unit (the “agency”) engaged in reasonable efforts toward reunification. Mother-appellant’s own actions thwarted the agency’s reunification efforts. Appointed counsel for father-appellant filed an Anders brief. Based on this court’s full examination of the record, we find the two issues of potential error for review raised in the Anders brief to be without merit and wholly frivolous. | Zimmerman | Hancock |

The statute permits the consideration of all relevant factors. | Willamowski | Union |

State v. Briggs
| 1-23-70 | SUFFICIENCY OF THE EVIDENCE; MANIFEST WEIGHT OF THE EVIDENCE; DENIAL OF MOTION TO DISMISS INDICTMENT. The defendant-appellant’s illegal-use-of-a-minor-in-nudity-oriented-material conviction is based on sufficient evidence and is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The trial court did not err by denying the defendant-appellant’s motion to dismiss the indictment since the indictment is valid on its face. | Zimmerman | Allen |

The defendant-appellant’s sentence is not contrary to law because it is within the sentencing range and the trial court properly considered R.C. 2929.11 and 2929.12. The trial court was not required to make a finding under R.C. 2951.03(B)(5) because the defendant-appellant did not challenge any factual inconsistences in the presentence-investigation report. The trial court’s consecutive-sentence findings are not clearly and convincingly unsupported by the record and the defendant-appellant’s consecutive sentences are not contrary to law. | Zimmerman | Union |

State v. Nevels
| 8-23-31 | Crim.R. 48; Dismissal of criminal case by trial court; Exclusion of evidence on the basis of non-compliance with Crim.R. 41. The trial court erred in sua sponte dismissing one count of an indictment without adequate notice to the prosecution, and the trial court erred in excluding evidence at trial when a motion to suppress that same evidence was properly denied by the trial court. | Waldick | Logan |

State v. Morgan
| 10-24-01 | KNOWING, INTELLIGENT, AND VOLUNTARY PLEAS; PLAIN-ERROR DOCTRINE; COURT-APPOINTED-COUNSEL FEES. The defendant-appellant’s guilty pleas were knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. Because the defendant-appellant failed to raise the issue of allied offenses of similar import in the trial court, we review solely for plain error. The specific facts and circumstances of this case are not exceptional to warrant intervention under the plain-error doctrine. The trial court erred by imposing court-appointed-counsel fees as part of the defendant-appellant’s sentence. We vacate that portion of the judgment entry of sentencing imposing court-appointed-counsel fees. | Zimmerman | Mercer |

The juvenile court not err in dismissing the petitioner-appellant’s petition for post-conviction relief. The juvenile court lacked jurisdiction to consider the petition for post-conviction relief since the petition was filed after the petitioner-appellant had attained the age of 21. | Zimmerman | Union |

State v. Wolfe
| 14-23-35 | JURY LIMITING INSTRUCTION; ADMISSION AND EXCLUSION OF EVIDENCE; HEARSAY; EVID.R. 803(4); SUFFICIENCY OF THE EVIDENCE; RAPE; ATTEMPTED GROSS SEXUAL IMPOSITION; DATE OF OFFENSE; INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF TRIAL COUNSEL; SENTENCING; CONSECUTIVE SENTENCES. The trial court’s unsolicited limiting instruction did not rise to the level of plain error. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by permitting the jury to view a video recording of the victim’s interview with a social worker and forensic interviewer at the Center for Family Safety and Healing at Nationwide Children’s Hospital or by admitting the video and corresponding report into evidence. The defendant-appellant’s rape and attempted-gross-sexual-imposition convictions are based on sufficient evidence. The defendant-appellant’s trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to object to the State’s reference to inadmissible hearsay, prior-bad-acts, evidence, or the defendant-appellant’s pre-arrest silence, or by failing to request a mistrial. The defendant-appellant’s sentence is not contrary to law. | Zimmerman | Union |

In re E.R.
| 12-24-02; 12-24-03 | Permanent Custody; Motion to Dismiss. Trial court erred in sua sponte reconsidering its judgment unconditionally dismissing a case. Once a case has been unconditionally dismissed, the trial court lacks jurisdiction to enter any judgment. | Willamowski | Putnam |

State v. Snyder
| 6-24-04 | Crim.R. 11; Change of Plea; Self-Incrimination. Because the trial court failed to comply with Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(c) during the plea colloquy, defendant-appellant's guilty plea was not entered knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily. | Miller | Hardin |

The defendant-appellant’s sentence is not contrary to law because it is within the sentencing range and the trial court properly considered R.C. 2929.11, 2929.12, and 2921.331(C)(5)(b). The defendant-appellant’s consecutive sentences are not contrary to law because consecutive sentences are mandatory under R.C. 2929.14(C)(3) since the defendant-appellant was convicted of a felony violation of R.C. 2921.331. | Zimmerman | Union |

Bayliff v. Stokes Twp. Bd. of Zoning Appeals
| 8-24-12 | Administrative appeal; Zoning; Variance; Unnecessary hardship.

| 15-23-11 & 15-23-12 | Joinder; Crim.R. 14; Motion for Change of Venue; Extortion; R.C. 2905.11(A)(3); Protected Speech; Jury Instructions. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in joining offenses for trial where the evidence of each crime was simple and distinct. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant-appellant's motion for change of venue. Defendant-appellant's convictions were not against the manifest weight or sufficiency of the evidence. Defendant-appellant did not establish plain-error relief was warranted regarding the jury instructions. | Miller | Van Wert |

Fertilizer Storage Co., L.L.C. v. Heartland Bank
| 2-23-16 | SUMMARY JUDGMENT; FRAUD. The trial court did not err by granting summary judgment in favor of defendants-appellees and dismissing plaintiffs-appellants’ fraud claim. Because plaintiffs-appellants failed to read the loan documents before signing them, plaintiffs-appellants cannot establish justifiable reliance on representations made by defendants-appellees regarding any prepayment penalties contained in the documents. | Zimmerman | Auglaize |

State v. Reed
| 5-23-50 | Sufficient Evidence; Manifest Weight; Expert Testimony. In evaluating a sufficiency of the evidence challenge, the appellate court must examine the record in a light most favorable to the prosecution to determine whether some evidence was produced at trial to substantiate each of the essential elements of the crime. To establish a conviction for aggravated murder in violation of R.C. 2903.01(A), the State must prove that the defendant purposely, and with prior calculation and design, caused the death of another. The failure of the State to request that a witness be formally designated as an expert does not rise to the level of plain error where the witness gave testimony regarding his or her qualifications. | Willamowski | Hancock |

State v. Manns
| 6-23-17 | Felony Sentencing; R.C. 2953.08; Contrary to Law; Presentence Investigation; Plain Error. A trial court's reliance on evidence from outside the record may violate a defendant's due process rights and render a sentence contrary to law. However, references to information from a co-defendant's case after the defendant's sentence has been imposed do not necessarily constitute plain error where the findings made in support of the defendant's sentence have an independent basis in the record or where the trial court does not rely on such information in fashioning a sentence. A presentence investigation report is confidential. A defendant does not have the right to access a co-defendant's PSI from another case. A trial court's reference to a co-defendant's PSI does not constitute plain error where the record contains no indication that the sentence imposed on the defendant was based on any information contained therein. | Willamowski | Hardin |

The trial court did not abuse its discretion by exercising its jurisdiction under the UCCJEA since it possessed home-state jurisdiction under R.C. 3127.15(A)(1). Petitioner-appellant is judicially estopped from raising her jurisdictional argument since she conceded the facts underlying the legal conclusion that Ohio was [the child’s] home state at the time this matter commenced. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by modifying the shared-parenting decree and by concluding that it is in child’s best interest for petitioner-appellee to have residential and legal custody of the child. | Zimmerman | Defiance |

The trial court did not err in finding, by clear and convincing evidence, that Appellant's children were neglected under R.C. 2151.03. The trial court did not err in finding, by clear and convincing evidence, that Appellant's children were dependent under R.C. 2151.04. | Miller | Defiance |

Gardner v. XPO Logistics Freight, Inc.
| 9-23-80 | Civ.R. 53(D)(3); Magistrate's Decision; Objections; Summary Judgment; Assured Clear Distance Ahead; Peripheral Object; Sudden Emergence. The Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure give a party fourteen days from the issuance of a magistrate's decision to file written objections with the trial court. With the exception of raising a claim of plain error, a party may not assign error on appeal unless that party previously filed a corresponding objection to the magistrate's decision in compliance with Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(b). Thus, the failure to file objections to the magistrate's decision waives all but plain error on appeal. When a tractor-trailer was driving in the only eastbound lane on a roadway and activated its turn signal before making a wide-right turn, the tractor-trailer was clearly indicating that it was going to remain in the line of travel ahead of the motorcycle following behind it until the right turn had been completed. For this reason, the tractor-trailer was not a peripheral object that suddenly emerged into the assured clear distance of the motorcycle. | Willamowski | Marion |

Evans v. Walmart Defiance Supercenter #5385
| 4-24-13 | Summary Judgment; Slip and Fall; Constructive Notice; Duty of Care. To recover from a shopkeeper in a slip and fall case, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant created the hazard, had actual knowledge of the hazard, or had constructive notice of the hazard. In turn, the plaintiff must present some evidence as to how long the condition was present to establish constructive notice. Such evidence is required because, without information about how long a condition existed, no inference can be drawn as to whether the shopkeeper breached a duty of care with regard to that condition. | Willamowski | Defiance |

The defendant-appellant’s complicity-to-attempted-murder, kidnapping, felonious-assault, and aggravated-burglary convictions are based on sufficient evidence. The defendant-appellant’s complicity-to-attempted-murder, kidnapping, felonious-assault, and aggravated-burglary convictions are not allied offenses of similar import. The trial court made the appropriate R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) findings before imposing consecutive sentences and incorporated those findings into its sentencing entry and those findings are not clearly and convincingly unsupported by the record. The defendant-appellant’s trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to object to the jury pool. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying the defendant-appellant’s motion for new trial under Crim.R. 33(A)(1), (4). | Zimmerman | Van Wert |

The defendant-appellant’s petition for post-conviction relief is untimely because it was filed many years after the 365-day deadline set forth in R.C. 2953.21. Because the defendant-appellant failed to establish that he is entitled to file a delayed petition for post-conviction relief under one of the exceptions in R.C. 2953.23(A), the trial court was without jurisdiction to consider the untimely petition. | Zimmerman | Allen |
