Ohio Civil Rules
Was your case heard by a Magistrate instead of a Judge?
An objection to the Magistrate Findings of Facts and Conclusion of Law can (MUST) be filed within fourteen days. This procedure is available from the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 53 because the Traffic Rules have no such procedure for such a filing. Read the case listed below to get an insight.
Objections to referees' reports
Absent any other provision in the Criminal Rules or Traffic Rules, the fourteen-day period provided for in CivR 53(E)(2) applies to the filing of objections to the reports of referees in traffic cases: State v. Crandall, 9 Ohio App. 3d 291, 460 N.E.2d 296, 9 Ohio B. 538, 1983 Ohio App. LEXIS 11069 (1983).
