Rankin v. Rankin
| CA2016-12-024 | Husband appeals court's decision determining his child support obligation. Trial court did not abuse its discretion in declining to hold an evidentiary hearing before ruling on husband's objections to magistrate's decision because husband did not demonstrate why he could not have supplied the magistrate with the evidence. Trial court did not err in adopting magistrate's calculation of husband's child support obligation and arrearage where magistrate's decision was based upon the limited evidence supplied by the parties. | Piper | Brown |

State v. Smith
| CA2017-02-013 | Defendant's conviction for trespass in a habitation supported by sufficient evidence and not against the manifest weight of the evidence where defendant entered home through an open garage and thereafter forced her way into closed portions of the home and had to be forcibly removed. Prosecutor's description of the state's burden of proof was improper but defendant could not demonstrate plain error. Defense counsel was not ineffective for failing to call defendant to the stand. | Ringland | Warren |

Smith v. Smith
| CA2016-08-059 | Trial court erred by finding Husband committed financial misconduct where his uninsured business caught on fire and he was forced to take out loans to rebuild.

State v. Gerde
| CA2016-11-077 | The trial court did not err by admitting a recording of jailhouse phone calls between appellant and his mother as such statements constituted non-hearsay admissions of a party opponent as provided by Evid.R. 801(D)(2) that were not unfairly prejudicial to appellant. In addition, appellant's conviction for burglary was supported by sufficient evidence and otherwise not against the manifest weight of the evidence where there was evidence he burglarized a home, which constituted an occupied structure, with a co-defendant who implicated him in the crime. | S. Powell | Clermont |

State v. Penwell
| CA2016-12-020, CA2016-12-021 | Defendant's convictions for breaking and entering and theft for breaking into a car owned by an individual and stealing a credit card found in the car and belonging to another individual were not allied offenses of similar import because the offenses involved separate victims and each victim suffered a separate and identifiable harm. Defendant was properly convicted of fourth-degree felony grand theft of a motor vehicle for stealing an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) because the ATV falls within the definition of a motor vehicle under R.C. 2913.01(FF) and 4501.01(B). | M.
