Syllabus

R.C. 2505.02(B)(3) — FINAL, APPEALABLE ORDER — AFFIDAVIT OF MERIT — CIV.R. 10(D) — DISMISSAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE — JURISDICTION — CIV.R. 54(B) — MOOT — APP.R. 12: Where the order appealed from vacated a prior final judgment issued by the trial court, it was a final, appealable order pursuant to R.C. 2505.02(B)(3). Where the trial court's dismissal of plaintiffs' complaint without prejudice divested the trial court of jurisdiction over the case, the trial court erred in sua sponte vacating that judgment and granting plaintiffs' motion to amend the complaint. An appellate court will not rule on assignments of error that are rendered moot by another decision rendered by the court in the appeal.
