        v.

KENT STATE UNIVERSITY

        Defendant/Counter Plaintiff
        Case No. 2007-06675

Judge Joseph T. Clark

JUDGMENT ENTRY

         {¶ 1} On December 17, 2009, this case was tried to the court on the issue of
liability.   At the close of plaintiff/counter defendant’s, Michael Raccuia dba Michren
Company (Raccuia) case, defendant/counter plaintiff, Kent State University (KSU),
moved for dismissal of Raccuia’s complaint pursuant to Civ.R. 41(B)(2). The court finds
that Raccuia failed to produce sufficient evidence to support his claim and that upon the
facts and the law Raccuia has shown no right to relief. Accordingly, the court GRANTS
KSU’s motion.
         {¶ 2} In addition, KSU presented no evidence to support its counterclaim.
Therefore, the court sua sponte DISMISSES KSU’s counterclaim.
         {¶ 3} Judgment is hereby rendered in favor of KSU on Raccuia’s complaint
pursuant to Civ.R. 41(B)(2), and KSU’s counterclaim is DISMISSED. Court costs are
assessed against Raccuia. The clerk shall serve upon all parties notice of this judgment
and its date of entry upon the journal.
