MATTHEW EXUM, Case No. 2008-09589

Plaintiff,

v. Judge Alan C. Travis Magistrate Anderson M. Renick

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION AND CORRECTION,

Defendant. JUDGMENT ENTRY

{¶1} This case is sua sponte assigned to Judge Alan C. Travis to conduct all proceedings necessary for decision in this matter.

{¶2} On August 22, 2011, the magistrate issued a decision recommending judgment for defendant. On September 14, 2011, the court issued an entry granting plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time to file objections to the magistrate's decision on or before October 20, 2011.

{¶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).” No objections were filed.

{¶4} 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 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.
