  • 2019 Ohio 3003

Syllabus

The trial court did not err by overruling appellant's Civ.R. 60(B) motion for relief from a default judgment of foreclosure. The trial court reasonably concluded that appellant failed to show merit in his defense that he was not in default of the note and in his claim of promissory estoppel. The trial court also reasonably concluded that appellant failed to show that his failure to respond to appellee's motion for default judgment constituted excusable neglect or that appellee had committed fraud. Lastly, the trial court did not err by denying appellant's motion for relief from judgment without a hearing, because appellant failed to allege operative facts of a meritorious claim or defense. Judgment affirmed.
