In re A.G.
| 25AP-149 | Juvenile court did not plainly err by failing to require public children services agency to further investigate whether child was an Indian child for purposes of the Indian Child Welfare Act (“ICWA”) because mother’s testimony expressly denied tribal membership and, at most, suggested child had Indian heritage. Juvenile court did not err by failing to apply beyond-a-reasonable-doubt standard of proof under the ICWA because the court did not plainly err by concluding that the ICWA did not apply. Juvenile court’s decision granting permanent custody to the public children services agency was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where testimony and evidence provided by caseworkers, the guardian ad litem, and the foster mother supported the juvenile court’s conclusions. | Dorrian | Franklin |

State v. McKinney
| 26AP-223 | Appellant filed a motion with the trial court regarding his sentence. The trial court denied that motion on multiple grounds, including res judicata. Appellant then filed a motion requesting the trial reconsider its judgment. The trial court denied the motion to reconsider, and noted that the prior entry was a final judgment. Appellant appealed the denial of his motion to reconsider. Because there is no rule permitting a trial court to reconsider a final judgment, the entry on which this appeal is based is a legal nullity. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed | Leland | Franklin |

U.S. Bank Trust Natl. Assn. v. Diallo
| 26AP-474 | The trial court erred in finding appellant's engagement with the case after the court entered judgment operated as a waiver of the defense of insufficient service of process and failing to consider the merits of appellant's motion to vacate. Judgment reversed. | Edelstein | Franklin |

Musunuru v. Echelle Resources, Inc.
| 25AP-469 | The trial court did not err in confirming the arbitration award. First, appellant has waived his arguments in support of his assertion that the trial court erred in failing to limit the arbitrator's authority and confirming the arbitrator's decision resolving non-arbitrable claims. Furthermore, the trial court properly found that the arbitrator's award draws its essence from the underlying agreement and it is not unlawful, arbitrary, or capricious and therefore must be confirmed. Finally, there was no misconduct by the arbitrator in exercising his discretion to deny appellant’s request to continue the arbitration which was made the morning of the arbitration, and the trial court properly found the same. In sum, there was no error on the part of the trial court in confirming the arbitration award and in denying appellant’s motion to vacate the arbitration award. Judgment affirmed. | Beatty Blunt | Franklin |

Columbus v. Ohio Wholesale Auto Sales, L.L.C.
| 25AP-467 | The trial court erred in determining that res judicata barred appellant from asserting its claimed interest in the property in this appropriation action. The dismissal of appellant’s previously filed foreclosure action was an adjudication otherwise than on the merits. Judgment reversed; cause remanded. | Dingus | Franklin |
