         v.

 CITY OF ASHTABULA

         Respondent

        {¶1} On February 28, 2023, a Special Master issued a Report and
Recommendation (R&R) in Ct. of Cl. Nos. 2022-00660PQ, 2022-00665PQ, and 2022-
Case No. 2022-00660PQ                      -2-                      JUDGMENT ENTRY
Case No. 2022-00665PQ
Case No. 2022-00680PQ

00680PQ, which have been consolidated.           The Special Master recommends the
following:
       • “All of Requester’s claims in Case 2022-00660PQ be dismissed pursuant
       to Civ. R. 12(B)(6) and that costs be assessed against Requester;”
       • “Requester’s claims for monetary and declaratory relief in Case 2022-
       00665PQ be dismissed pursuant to Civ. R. 12(B)(6), that his claim seeking
       production of records be dismissed as moot, and that costs be assessed
       against Requester;” and
       • “Requester’s claims for monetary and declaratory relief in Case 2022-
       00680PQ be dismissed pursuant to Civ. R. 12(B)(6), that his claim seeking
       production of records be dismissed as moot, and that costs be assessed
       against Requester.”
(R&R, 10.)
       {¶2} Neither Requester nor Respondent in the consolidated cases has filed timely
written objections to the Report and Recommendation in accordance with R.C.
2743.75(F)(2). Pursuant to R.C. 2743.75(F)(2), if neither party timely objects to a report
and recommendation, then this Court is required to “promptly issue a final order adopting
the report and recommendation, unless it determines that there is an error of law or other
defect evident on the face of the report and recommendation.” Upon independent review,
the Court finds that there is no error of law or other defect evident on the face of the
Report and Recommendation filed in Ct. of Cl. Nos. 2022-00660PQ, 2022-00665PQ, and
2022-00680PQ. The Court therefore adopts the Report and Recommendation filed in Ct.
of Cl. Nos. 2022-00660PQ, 2022-00665PQ, and 2022-00680PQ.
       {¶3} Wherefore, in accordance with the Special Master’s recommendations, the
Court ORDERS the following:

   (1) All of Requester’s claims in Case 2022-00660PQ are dismissed pursuant
       to Civ. R. 12(B)(6) and court costs are assessed against Requester in Ct.
       of Cl. No. 2022-00660PQ;
Case No. 2022-00660PQ                       -3-                       JUDGMENT ENTRY
Case No. 2022-00665PQ
Case No. 2022-00680PQ

    (2) Requester’s claims for monetary and declaratory relief in Ct. of Cl. No.
        2022-00665PQ are dismissed pursuant to Civ. R. 12(B)(6), Requester’s
        claim seeking production of records is dismissed as moot, and court costs
        in Ct. of Cl. No. 2022-00665PQ are assessed against Requester; and
    (3) Requester’s claims for monetary and declaratory relief in Ct. of Cl No. 2022-
        00680PQ is dismissed pursuant to Civ. R. 12(B)(6); Requester’s claim
        seeking production of records is dismissed as moot, and court costs in Ct.
        of Cl. No. 2022-00680PQ are assessed against Requester.
The Clerk shall serve upon all parties notice of this judgment and its date of entry upon
the journal.
