Rosenhoffer v. Batavia

CA2025-07-056

The trial court did not err in finding that no absolute or blanket executive session privilege exists under Ohio law. The trial court did not err in denying the appellants' request for a protective order on the basis of attorney-client privilege where appellants failed to provide enough information to enable appellees to contest the claim as required by Civ.R. 26(B)(8)(a). The court's denial of appellants' motion for a protective order on the basis that no executive session privilege exists was overly broad where the court's decision ignores the potentially confidential nature of topics properly discussed in executive session, and could result in the disclosure of confidential information.

WesBanco Bank, Inc. v. Parker

CA2026-03-039

Appellant's appeal from a trial court's order granting a cognitive judgment against him and in favor of appellee, a bank, was dismissed where appellant moved the appellate court to vacate the trial court's judgment pursuant to Civ.R. 60(B), a rule that does not apply to appellate proceedings.

Booth v. Buchanan

CA2025-03-034

Judgment affirmed. The trial court properly granted summary judgment on the grounds of collateral estoppel. Plaintiff had a full opportunity to litigate the issue of the propriety of law enforcement's actions—which resulted in the death of Plaintiff's husband—in federal court, and it was determined law enforcement's actions were reasonable and protected by federal immunity. This finding precludes a different result in state court.

State v. Smith

CA2025-12-018

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's postconviction petition alleging ineffective assistance of counsel. The evidence attached to the petition was merely cumulative to evidence already in the record to support defendant's previously rejected argument that he should have received a manslaughter instruction at trial. Defendant could therefore demonstrate no prejudice. Moreover, defendant could have made his ineffective assistance of counsel argument on direct appeal where he was represented by new counsel.
