Syllabus

Where a magistrate's decision contained a clear and obvious error evident on the face of the decision in that it concluded one spouse owed the other a certain dollar amount but then, a few pages later, ordered the spouse to pay a different amount, the trial court's adoption of the facially deficient magistrate's decision in the same docket filing and at the exact same moment that it issued raised a question about whether it conducted the review required by Civ.R. 53(D)(4)(c) and affects public's perception of and confidence in the judicial process, permitting the finding of civil plain error.
