Case No. 1-05-91 Shaw, J. {¶1} Although originally placed on our accelerated calendar, we have elected, pursuant to Local Rule 12(5), to issue a full opinion in lieu of a judgment entry. The plaintiffs-appellants, Mary L. Weaver and Richard E. Weaver (the Weavers ), appeal the December 1, 2005, Judgment Entry of the Court of Common Pleas of Allen County, Ohio granting summary judgment for defendantappellee, Steak n Shake Operations, Inc. ( Steak n Shake ) on his claim of negligence in this slip-and-fall case. The Weavers asserted a single assignment of error regarding the trial court s judgment. Assignment of Error THE TRIAL COURT ERRED WHEN IT GRANTED SUMMARY JUDGMENT BECAUSE REASONABLE MINDS WOULD CONCLUDE THAT THERE WERE MATERIAL ISSUES OF FACT WHICH WOULD PRECLUDE SUMMARY JUDGMENT. {¶2} Our review of the record reveals that the trial court has thoroughly addressed all of the relevant factual and legal issues pertaining to this appeal in its judgment entry granting summary judgment to Steak n Shake. Accordingly, we hereby adopt the final judgment entry of the trial court dated December 1, 2005, 2 Case No. 1-05-91 incorporated and attached hereto as Exhibit A1, as our opinion of this case. For the reasons stated therein, the Weaver s assignment of error is overruled and the judgment of the Court of Common Pleas of Allen County, Ohio is affirmed. Judgment affirmed.
