Syllabus

DOMESTIC RELATIONS – APPELLATE REVIEW – JURISDICTION – R.C. 2505.02 – RECEIVER – APP.R. 4(A) – APP.R. 4(B) –CIV.R. 59(B) – CIV.R. 6(A) – NEW TRIAL: Where three of the entries appealed by defendant concerning the powers of a receiver were interim orders that contemplated further action and did not affect a substantial right, they were not final, appealable orders. Where defendant timely filed a Civ.R. 59 motion for a new trial on the appointment of a receiver, pursuant to App.R. 4(B)(2)(b) the time to appeal the initial order appointing the receiver did not begin to run until the trial court entered an order resolving the motion for a new trial. Defendant was not prejudiced by the trial court's granting of plaintiff's request for an expedited hearing without allowing defendant time to file a memorandum in opposition to plaintiff's motion where defendant appeared at the hearing, defended against the motion and did not seek leave to file a memorandum in response or to supplement arguments made at the hearing. The trial court did not err in denying defendant's Civ.R. 59 motion for a new trial and defendant's motion for approval of a buyout transaction.
