Syllabus

Final appealable order R.C. 2505.02 Civ.R. 54(B). An appeal will be dismissed when the judgment appealed from is not a final appealable order. Although Civ.R. 54(B) will allow the dismissal of a counterclaim to be immediately appealable, it only does so where the decision is a final order. Here, where the counterclaim involved venue and choice of law, two issues that are appealable after final judgment, the trial court's ruling on the counterclaim was not a final appealable order subject to immediate review. Further, the trial court's other rulings on personal jurisdiction and on motions to strike were not final appealable orders because both are appealable after final judgment and do not preclude appellant's ability to proceed in the action.
