Ohio Loc. App. R. 2

As amended through October 29, 2024
Rule 2 - APPLICABLE RULES
(A)Appeals

The Ohio Rules of Appellate Procedure, as supplemented hereby, shall govern procedure in appeals to this court.

(B)Original Actions

The Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure, as supplemented hereby, shall govern procedure in original actions filed in this court.

(C)Appeals from the Environmental Review Appeals Commission

Appellate Rules 11(A), 11(B), 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30, as supplemented hereby, shall apply to and govern procedure in appeals to this court from the Environmental Review Appeals Commission pursuant to R.C. 3745.06, except as may be otherwise provided by law.

(D)Form of Filings

All pleadings, briefs, and other papers filed or presented to the court for consideration in appeals and original actions shall be in writing. Writing for purposes of efiled documents means that said documents when printed must produce a clear black image in at least 16-point type, and otherwise comply with App.R. 19. To compensate for the large typeface, any page limit for a pleading set forth in the Ohio Rules of Appellate Procedure, which is not otherwise specifically addressed herein, shall be doubled in length. The clerk shall forthwith call to the attention of the court administrator any document filed that does not comply with these rules or is filed out of rule.

(E)Service

Pursuant to App.R. 13(C), copies of all documents filed by any party and not required to be served by the clerk shall, at or before the time of filing, be served on all other parties to the case. The email notice of filing generated by the efiling system does not constitute service in the Tenth District Court of Appeals. Service may be made by personal service, by mail, or, where the opposing party is an efiling account holder, by attaching a copy of the pleading being served to an email sent to an email address registered in the efiling system. Service on a party represented by counsel shall be made on counsel. Proof of service, indicating how service was made, shall be attached to every filing. With respect to response time, the additional 3 days discussed in App.R. 14(C) shall only be added when service is made by mail and shall not apply where service is made on the responding party by personal service or email.
