Syllabus

Summary judgment Civ.R. 54 Civ.R. 3 service on John Doe defendants final appealable order slip and fall negligence. Because appellant failed to serve the John Doe defendants in the original case, the case against those defendants was never commenced under Civ.R. 3 therefore, the John Doe defendants are not proper parties to this case and the court's entry granting summary judgment in the refiled case is a final appealable order. The trial court did not err in granting summary judgment because no issue of material fact existed that the appellee did not have a duty to appellant because the condition of the ramp in the transit station was open and obvious.
