ARSENIO RODRIGUEZ

       Plaintiff

       v.

Case No. 2010-08837-AD

Deputy Clerk Daniel R. Borchert

ENTRY OF DISMISSAL                STATE HIGHWAY PATROL

        {¶ 1} On September 3, 2010, defendant filed a motion to dismiss, stating this
claim was paid by Ohio Department of Administrative Services. On July 28, 2010,
check no. 14737124 in the amount of $125.96, was sent to plaintiff as a full and final
release of the claim against defendant.                Plaintiff has not responded to defendant’s
motion to dismiss. R.C. 2743.02(D) in pertinent part states: “Recoveries against the
state shall be reduced by the aggregate of insurance proceeds, disability award, or
other collateral recovery received by the claimant.” Upon review, the court finds that the
money received by plaintiff is a recovery from a collateral source. Accordingly,
defendant’s motion is GRANTED and plaintiff’s case is DISMISSED. The court shall
absorb the court costs for this claim in excess of the filing fee.
