Syllabus

Political subdivision immunity; negligent operation of a motor vehicle; negligent training/supervision; summary judgment; final appealable orders. The trial court's denial of the political subdivision's (RTA) motion for summary judgment is affirmed in part and reversed in part. Denying summary judgment as to the negligent operation of a motor vehicle claim is proper because there is a question of fact for the jury regarding whether the RTA driver was negligent, and thus, whether political subdivision immunity applies. The denial of summary judgment as to the negligent supervision and/or training claim was error, because under R.C. Ch. 2744, political subdivisions are immune from liability for negligent supervision and/or training of an employee operating a motor vehicle. The remaining arguments concerning mootness and dismissal of claims are not based on final appealable orders and we are unable to review them.
