Syllabus

Civ.R. 36, admissions, deemed admitted, discovery matters, motion to withdraw admissions. Where plaintiff-appellee failed to timely answer admissions under Civ.R. 36, the admissions were deemed admitted. However, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in implicitly withdrawing the deemed admissions where (1) plaintiff-appellee proceeded to trial and challenged the truth of the admissions, and (2) the record indicated withdrawal would aid in presenting the merits of the case and would not prejudice the defendant-appellant in maintaining his action.
