Clark Magistrate Steven A. Larson v. ENTRY OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY Defendant [Cite as Mahalati v.

On May 31, 2007, defendant filed a response to plaintiff s objections. {¶3} Upon review of the record, the magistrate s decision, the objections, and defendant s response, the court finds that the magistrate has properly determined the factual issues and appropriately applied the law. Plaintiff s objections are simply restatements of the arguments he made in support of his motion for summary judgment and his arguments in opposition to defendant s motion. Therefore, the objections are OVERRULED and the court adopts the magistrate s decision and recommendation as its own, including findings of fact and conclusions of law contained therein. Plaintiff s motion for summary judgment is DENIED, defendant s motion for summary judgment is GRANTED, and 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. _____________________________________ JOSEPH T. CLARK Judge cc: Jana M.
