Licking County, Case No. 12-CA-38                                                        2

Hoffman, J.

       {¶1}   Defendant-appellant Philip Scott Manogg appeals the April 10, 2012

Judgment Entry entered by the Civil Division of the Municipal Court of Licking County,

which found he had been properly served in the underlying action. Plaintiff-appellee is

Mindy Wisniewski.

       {¶2}   Appellee did not file a reply brief in this appeal. Pursuant to App.R. 18(C),

this Court accepts Appellant’s statement of the facts and issues as correct.1

       {¶3}   This case comes to us on the accelerated and is calendar and is governed

by App.R. 11.1, which states the following in pertinent part:

       {¶4}   “(E) Determination and judgment on appeal

       {¶5}   “The appeal will be determined as provided by App. R. 11.1. It shall be

sufficient compliance with App. R. 12(A) for the statement of the reason for the court's

decision as to each error to be in brief and conclusionary form.

       {¶6}   The decision may be by judgment entry in which case it will not be

published in any form.

       {¶7}   We dismiss Appellant’s appeal for lack of a final appealable order. Our

reason follows.

       {¶8}   In its Judgment Entry dated April 10, 2012, after finding Appellant had

been properly served, the trial court scheduled an oral hearing on Appellant’s motion for

relief from judgment to be held May 21, 2012. Appellant filed his Notice of Appeal on

May 4, 2012, and requested a continuance of the trial court hearing. The trial court

granted Appellant’s request.

 For a statement of the case, see this Court’s Opinion in Wisniewski v. Manogg, 2012-
Ohio-1081.
Licking County, Case No. 12-CA-38                                                   3

      {¶9}   Because the trial court entry does not determine Appellant’s motion for

relief from judgment nor prevent Appellant relief thereunder, we find this Court lacks

jurisdiction pursuant to R.C. 2505.02.

      {¶10} Appellant’s appeal is ordered to be dismissed.
