Syllabus

FINAL APPEALABLE ORDER – APPELLATE REVIEW/CIVIL – APPELLATE JURISDICTION – DECLARATORY JUDGMENTS – MOOTNESS – CIV.R. 54(B): Where trial court granted summary judgment for defendants on plaintiff's breach-of-contract claim without explanation, and where the trial court failed to resolve or dismiss plaintiff's outstanding declaratory-judgment request concerning the same contract, and where resolution of the former would require resolving issues subsumed by the latter, the claims were inextricably intertwined, rendering the trial court's Civ.R. 54(B) certification improper, the trial court's order nonfinal, and the court of appeals without jurisdiction.
