Syllabus
Appellant's notice of appeal was timely despite being filed over 90 days after the date of the final judgment, because the clerk of court failed to serve appellant's attorney with a copy of the judgment. Appellant was not permitted to file objections to the trial court's judgment pursuant to Civ.R. 53, because the trial was conducted by an acting judge rather than a magistrate. The trial court's judgment was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Judgment affirmed.
