ORVILLE MCEACHRON Case No. 2025-00922PQ

Requester Judge Lisa L. Sadler

v. JUDGMENT ENTRY

CITY OF GARFIELD HEIGHTS

Respondent

{¶1} In this public records case, a special master has issued a report and recommendation. The special master recommends that the court: (1) grant respondent’s motion to dismiss the complaint, and (2) order requester to bear the costs of this case. {¶2} Neither requester nor respondent has filed timely written objections to the report and recommendation in accordance with R.C. 2743.75(F)(2). Pursuant to R.C. 2743.75(F)(2), if neither party timely objects, then this court “shall promptly issue a final order adopting the report and recommendation, unless it determines that there is an error of law or other defect evident on the face of the report and recommendation.” Upon independent review, the court finds that there is no error of law or other defect evident on the face of the report and recommendation. The court therefore adopts the report and recommendation. {¶3} In accordance with the special master’s recommendations, the court: (1) GRANTS respondent’s motion to dismiss the complaint, and (2) ORDERS requester to bear the costs of this case. {¶4} The clerk shall serve upon all parties notice of this judgment and its date of entry upon the journal.
