Jones v. Russell

Summary

The Ohio Eleventh District Court of Appeals dismissed Mary Elizabeth Jones’s appeal from an order compelling arbitration because the notice of appeal was filed after the applicable 30-day deadline. The court held that it lacked jurisdiction and reserved Match Group, Inc.’s request for sanctions for a separate judgment entry.

Holdings

1. A notice of appeal from an order final upon its entry must be filed within 30 days of the entry, subject to the service provision in App.R. 4(A)(3).
2. When a notice of appeal is not filed within the time prescribed by law, the reviewing court lacks jurisdiction to consider issues that should have been raised in the appeal.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the appeal from the trial court's May 13, 2024 order was timely under App.R. 3(A) and App.R. 4(A).
2. Whether the appellate court had jurisdiction to consider the appeal when the notice of appeal was filed outside the applicable 30-day period.
