                               IN THE COURT OF CLAIMS OF OHIO

 IN RE: MELISSA KILLORAN                          Case No. 2023-00689VI

 MELISSA KILLORAN                                 Judge Lisa L. Sadler

         Applicant                                ORDER

        {¶1}     On January 25, 2024, a hearing was held in this matter before a Magistrate
of this Court. On February 6, 2024, the Magistrate issued a Decision wherein she found
that Applicant had proven by a preponderance of the evidence that the civil protection
order she obtained complied with the physical separation requirements found in R.C.
2743.51(F)(5)(b). Accordingly, the Magistrate recommended that the Final Decision of
the Attorney General be reversed and that the claim be remanded to the Attorney General
for economic loss calculations.
        {¶2}     Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(b)(i) states, in part: “A party may file written objections to a
magistrate’s decision within fourteen days of the filing of the decision, whether or not the
court has adopted the decision during that fourteen-day period as permitted by Civ.R.
53(D)(4)(e)(i).” No objections were filed.
        {¶3}     Upon review of the claim file, and the Magistrate’s Decision, it is the Court’s
finding that the Magistrate was correct in her analysis of the issues and application of the
law. Accordingly, this Court adopts the Magistrate’s Decision and recommendation as its
own.
                 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT
        {¶4}     The February 6, 2024 Decision of the Magistrate is ADOPTED;
        {¶5}     This claim is REMANDED and judgment entered for Applicant;
        {¶6}     Costs assumed by the reparations fund.
