Callan v. Callan
| 2025CA00036 | An appellant's failure to include in the record on appeal several key parts of the trial transcript hampers an appellate court's ability to grant the relief sought by the appellant. The trial court did not err by imposing linmits on a pro se party's ability to view and copy R.C. 3109.04(C) reports prepared by a psychologist for that party's divorce case. | Gormley | Stark |

Weese v. Dalton
| 25 CA 000012 | Reconsideration of the court's recent opinion in 2026-Ohio-537 (5th Dist.) is granted, and a new opinion is issued affirming the trial court's judgment in a foreclosure case because the homeowner's statutory exemption under R.C. 2329.66 exceeds the judgment creditor's statutory lien under R.C. 2329.02. The judgment debtor owned an undivided one-half interest in the real property, so the judgment creditor's lien attached solely to that half interest rather than to the entire property. | Gormley | Guernsey |

Weese v. Dalton
| 25 CA 000012 | Creditor's claim that a debtor committed fraud is barred by the claim-preclusion doctrine where the same fraud claim was addressed on the merits in a different case between the same parties. A prior default judgment can be given preclusive effect in a later suit if the trial court in the default judgment made findings of fact and conclusions of law on the merits of the claim. The trial court in the current case properly found that a homeowner can invoke the R.C. 2329.66 homestead exemption, though the exemption amount is less than the homeowner's interest in the property, so a sale of the home is not barred. | Gormley | Guernsey |
