v. JUDGMENT ENTRY

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAID

Respondent

{¶1} On October 14, 2021, a Special Master issued a Report and Recommendation in this public-records case. The Special Master recommends (1) finding that Respondent provided responsive records rendering seven of Requester’s claims moot within a reasonable period of time, (2) dismissing Requester’s remaining claims for production “as either moot, requests for non-records, or ambiguous and/or overly broad and therefore unenforceable,” and (3) assessing costs to Requester.

{¶2} Neither party has timely filed written objections to the Report and Recommendation, as permitted by R.C. 2743.75(F)(2). Pursuant to R.C. 2743.75(F)(2), if neither party timely objects to a special master’s report and recommendation, then this Court is required to “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.”

{¶3} The Court determines that there is no error of law or other defect evident on the face of the Special Master’s Report and Recommendation of October 14, 2021. The Court adopts the Report and Recommendation. Judgment is rendered in favor of
