Syllabus

Father appeals from a judgment of the juvenile court, which overruled his objections to a magistrate's decision. Although the juvenile court signed the magistrate's decision, the document did not adopt the magistrate's decision as an order of the court, enter the court's order resolving the case, or discuss the case. The magistrate's decision was also deficient because it failed to conspicuously indicate that a party must timely object as required by Juv.R. 40(3)(a)(iii). The trial court's subsequent judgment overruling Father's objections also did not adopt the magistrate's decision or enter an order resolving the case. Thus, there is no final appealable order, and this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
