State v. Forro

Summary

The Eleventh District Court of Appeals of Ohio dismissed James A. Forro’s appeal for lack of a final appealable order. The appealed entry denied his motion to modify probation, requested additional medical documentation concerning medical marijuana use, and scheduled another hearing, so it did not satisfy the requirements of R.C. 2505.02(B).

Holdings

1. The judgment entry was not a final appealable order because it did not satisfy any category listed in R.C. 2505.02(B) and contemplated a second hearing on the motion to modify probation.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the January 31, 2022 judgment entry concerning Forro's motion to modify probation was a final appealable order.
2. Whether the Court of Appeals had jurisdiction over the appeal under the Ohio Constitution, R.C. 2505.02(B), and R.C. 2953.02.

Disposition

dismissed
