TRIAL NO.: A-2300903
KEY WORDS: R.C. 2323.52 – VEXATIOUS LITIGATOR OR CONDUCT
SUMMARY: The common pleas court erred by granting defendant’s R.C.2323.52 motion to declare plaintiff a vexatious litigator where there was no clear and convincing evidence presented that plaintiff habitually, persistently, and without reasonable grounds engaged in vexatious conduct.

CAPTION: IN RE: A.C.1 AND A.C.2
APPEAL NO: C-240417
TRIAL NO: F/13/1783 Z
KEY WORDS: LEGAL CUSTODY – PERMANENT CUSTODY – INDEPENDENT REVIEW
SUMMARY: The juvenile court erred when it inappropriately applied appellate standards of review when reviewing objections to the magistrate’s decision to award permanent custody of the two children to HCJFS, terminating the grandmother’s legal custodianship, which required an independent review of the record.
