CAMERON BOYER

       Plaintiff

       v.

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

       Defendant

        Case No. 2010-09531-AD

Deputy Clerk Daniel R. Borchert

ENTRY OF DISMISSAL

        {¶ 1} On July 29, 2010, plaintiff, Cameron Boyer, filed a complaint against
defendant, Department of Transportation. However, plaintiff did not provide any details
with respect to the date, time, location, or nature of any alleged road hazard which
caused plaintiff’s damage. The only documentation attached to plaintiff’s complaint was
an estimate for auto repairs in the amount of $1,175.24 dated July 22, 2010 from Midas.
The plaintiff submitted the filing fee.
        {¶ 2} On August 6, 2010, defendant filed a motion to dismiss. In support of the
motion to dismiss, defendant stated in pertinent part:
        {¶ 3} “Plaintiff Boyer filed a claim at the Court of Claims of Ohio on July 29,
2010, but he did not give a date, description of his complaint or the location. Without
the factors, there is no way to investigate this claim.
        {¶ 4} “For these reasons, Defendant respectfully requests that the present case
be dismissed.”
        {¶ 5} Plaintiff has not responded to defendant’s motion to dismiss.
Case No. 2010-09531-AD                    -2-                                      ENTRY

         {¶ 6} Upon review, defendant’s motion to dismiss is GRANTED based on the
lack of evidence supplied by plaintiff. Plaintiff’s case is DISMISSED without prejudice.
The court shall absorb the court costs of this case in excess of the filing fee.

                                                  ________________________________
