WILLIAM GEORGE

       Plaintiff

       v.

DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION AND CORRECTION

       Defendant

Case No. 2010-11501

Judge Joseph T. Clark
Magistrate Matthew C. Rambo

JUDGMENT ENTRY

        {¶1} On January 13, 2012, the magistrate issued a decision recommending
judgment for defendant.
        {¶2} Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(b)(i) states, in part: “A party may file written objections to a
magistrate’s decision within fourteen days of the filing of the decision, whether or not the
court has adopted the decision during that fourteen-day period as permitted by Civ.R.
53(D)(4)(e)(i).”
        {¶3} Civ.R. 53(D)(4)(e)(i) provides: “The court may enter a judgment either during
the fourteen days permitted by Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(b)(i) for the filing of objections to a
magistrate’s decision or after the fourteen days have expired. If the court enters a
judgment during the fourteen days permitted by Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(b)(i) for the filing of
objections, the timely filing of objections to the magistrate’s decision shall operate as an
Case No. 2010-11501                          -2-                                    ENTRY

automatic stay of execution of the judgment until the court disposes of those objections
and vacates, modifies, or adheres to the judgment previously entered.”
          {¶4} The court determines that there is no error of law or other defect evident on
the face of the magistrate’s decision.       Therefore, the court adopts the magistrate’s
decision and recommendation as its own, including findings of fact and conclusions of
law contained therein. Judgment is rendered in favor of defendant. Court costs are
assessed against plaintiff. The clerk shall serve upon all parties notice of this judgment
and its date of entry upon the journal.
