Estate of Lewis v. Anderson
| 24AP-572 | The trial court properly denied defendant-appellant’s motion for summary judgment, which asserted immunity under R.C. 2744.03(A)(6), because genuine issues of material fact remained as to whether defendant-appellant, a police officer, acted recklessly in discharging his weapon during an arrest. | Dingus | Franklin |

State v. Stewart
| 25AP-134 | Judgment affirmed. The appellant’s conviction for assault under R.C. 2903.13(A) was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The record evidenced that appellant placed his hand on J.D.’s neck and fell to the ground with her while attempting to retrieve his keys, leaving fresh scratch marks. This evidence allowed the factfinder to reasonably determine that appellant knowingly tried to cause or attempted to cause physical harm to J.D. The jury did not lose its way or commit a manifest miscarriage of justice warranting reversal and a new trial. Affirm the judgment of the Franklin County Municipal Court. | Jamison | Franklin |

Lower v. Lower
| 25AP-607 | In this appeal arising out of an underlying will contest action, we affirm the judgment of the trial court. The trial court did not err in overruling appellant’s objections to the magistrate’s decision recommending that summary judgment be granted in favor of Donald Lower in both his individual capacity and his capacity as executor. Nor did the trial court err in permitting decedent’s physician to submit his affidavit testifying to Decedent’s testamentary capacity, or in failing to strike the affidavit of decedent’s attorney who drafted the will. Furthermore, the doctrine of cumulative error is not applicable in this matter. Finally, appellant’s claims that the trial court exhibited bias against him and/or engaged in judicial misconduct during the proceedings below lacks merit, and even if it did not so lack merit, his sole remedy was to file an affidavit of prejudice with the clerk of the Ohio Supreme Court pursuant to R.C. 2701.03, which he failed to do. Judgment affirmed. | Beatty Blunt | Franklin |

In re T.S.
| 24AP-328; 24AP-701 | JUVENILE — DELINQUENCY — JUV.R. 40(D)(6) — ASSAULT — SUFFICIENCY — MANIFEST WEIGHT: The juvenile court did not err in failing to assign juvenile's delinquency case to another magistrate where nothing in the record undermined the general presumption that the assigned magistrate could and would separate information that may be considered from information that may not, or suggested the magistrate failed to do so in this case or was otherwise biased or prejudiced against the juvenile by reason of his participation in a prior contested hearing of another juvenile found delinquent for their involvement in the same incident. Juvenile’s delinquency adjudication for assault was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the delinquent juvenile admitted to repeatedly striking the victim, video evidence depicted the encounter, an eyewitness corroborated the victim's account, and the record does not demonstrate the trial court lost its way in crediting the testimony of the victim about the assault. Judgment affirmed. | Edelstein | Franklin |

State v. Ball
| 24AP-662 | The trial court did not err in denying appellant’s motion to dismiss the having weapons while under disability charge. R.C. 2923.13(A)(2), as applied to appellant, is consistent with the nation’s history and tradition of firearm regulation and does not violate the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. Judgment affirmed. | Dingus | Franklin |
