Ohio L.C.C.R. 24

As amended through July 25, 2024
Rule 24 - Reparations appeals
(A) Appeals from decisions of the attorney general.
(1) An appeal pursuant to R.C. 2743.61(B) shall be taken by filing a notice of appeal with the clerk within the time allowed under R.C. 2743.61. The Attorney General shall provide a notice of appeal form to the claimant, along with a copy of the final decision.
(2) The clerk shall serve a copy of the notice of appeal upon the attorney general. The clerk shall note on the copy of the notice of appeal the date on which it was filed.
(3) If a party attempts to file a notice of appeal by delivering it to the attorney general instead of the Court of Claims, the attorney general shall forward the notice of appeal to the clerk within three days and the date of filing of the appeal shall, in the interests of justice, be deemed to be not later than the date the notice was received by the attorney general.
(4) Pursuant to R.C. 2743.61(B), the attorney general shall file the record with the clerk within fourteen days after the appeal is filed. The appeal shall be heard within ninety days of receiving a fully completed notice of appeal form.
(5) A notice of appeal filed prior to the final decision of the attorney general shall be treated as filed immediately after such final decision.
(6) All correspondence filed by a self-represented applicant within the thirty day appeal period as provided in 2743.61(B) shall be forwarded to the clerk for review. The clerk or the clerk's designee shall review the correspondence to determine whether it was the applicant's intent to appeal the final decision of the attorney general. The interests of justice require the review to construe the filing in a light most favorable to the benefit of the applicant.
(7) If the clerk determines that the self-represented applicant's intent was to file an appeal from the final decision of the attorney general, the attorney general will be promptly notified and be required to transmit the record to the clerk within fourteen days. The appeal shall be heard within ninety days of receiving the record from the attorney general.
(B)Objections and appeals from decisions and orders of the magistrate.
(1) A party may file written objections to a magistrate decision within fourteen days of the filing of the decision, whether or not the judge has adopted the decision during that fourteen-day period as permitted by Civ.R. 53(D)(4)(e)(i). If any party timely files objections, any other party may also file objections not later than ten days after the first objections are filed. A party shall not assign as error on appeal the judge's adoption of any factual findings or legal conclusion, whether or not specifically designated as finding of fact or conclusion of law under Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(a)(ii), unless the party timely and specifically objects to the factual finding or legal conclusion within fourteen days of the filing of the magistrate's decision, as required by Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(b).
(2) The clerk shall serve notice of the filing of an objection by forwarding a copy to counsel of record of each party other than the objecting party, or if a party is not represented by counsel, to the party at the party's last known address. The clerk shall note on each copy served, the date on which the objection was filed. The clerk shall make a record of the parties served, the date served, and the means of service.
