KEVIN KOLLER,                                                       Case No. 2010-08110

       Plaintiff,                                                   Judge Joseph T. Clark
                                                                    Magistrate Matthew C. Rambo

       v.

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF
REHABILITATION AND CORRECTION,

       Defendant.                                                   JUDGMENT ENTRY

        {¶1} This case is sua sponte assigned to Judge Joseph T. Clark to conduct all
proceedings necessary for decision in this matter.
        {¶2} On November 18, 2011, the magistrate issued a decision recommending
judgment for defendant.
        {¶3} 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).”
        {¶4} Civ.R. 53(D)(4)(e)(i) provides: “The court may enter a judgment either during
the fourteen days permitted by Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(b)(i) for the filing of objections to a
magistrate’s decision or after the fourteen days have expired. If the court enters a
judgment during the fourteen days permitted by Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(b)(i) for the filing of
objections, the timely filing of objections to the magistrate’s decision shall operate as an
automatic stay of execution of the judgment until the court disposes of those objections
and vacates, modifies, or adheres to the judgment previously entered.”
        {¶5} The court determines that there is no error of law or other defect evident on
the face of the magistrate’s decision.              Therefore, the court adopts the magistrate’s
Case No. 2010-08110                        -2-                                   ENTRY

decision and recommendation as its own, including findings of fact and conclusions of
law contained therein. Judgment is rendered in favor of defendant. Court costs are
assessed against plaintiff. The clerk shall serve upon all parties notice of this judgment
and its date of entry upon the journal.
