• 2024 Ohio 5237

Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to accept appellant's untimely answer to the complaint for fraudulent transfer of assets and in awarding default judgment to appellee. Appellant did not assert that her untimely filing was based on excusable neglect, and she incorrectly asserted that appellee had failed to include a certificate of service on all relevant filings as required by local rules. Appellee included certificates of service on filings and also indicated that she had served appellant, a pro se litigant, with paper copies of these filings. Judgment affirmed.
