On September 17, 2001, the magistrate issued a decision recommending judgment for defendant. Civ.R. 53 states: Within fourteen days of the filing of a magistrate s decision, a party may file written objections to the magistrate s decision. On November 9, 2001, the court granted plaintiff s motion for an extension of time to file objections. Plaintiff thereafter, timely filed his objections to the decision. Defendant has filed its reply. Civ.R.53(E)(3)(b) provides: Objections shall be specific and state with particularity the grounds of objection. If the parties stipulate in writing that the magistrate s findings of fact shall be final, they may object only to errors of law in the magistrate s decision. Any objection to a finding of fact shall be supported by a transcript of all the evidence submitted to the magistrate relevant to that fact or an affidavit of that evidence if a transcript is not available. A party shall not assign as error on appeal the court s adoption of any finding of fact or conclusion of law unless the party has objected to that finding or conclusion under this rule. Each of plaintiff s objections challenges factual findings of the magistrate.
