Syllabus

FINAL ORDERS – SUBJECT-MATTER JURISDICTION – APPELLATE JURISDICTION – JUDGMENT ENTRIES – MAGISTRATES – CIV.R. 53 – CIV.R. 54 – CIV.R. 58: Where no single document on the trial court's journal contained both the trial judge's signature and an adequate order granting or denying relief, the trial court failed to enter a valid final judgment, there was no final order for appellant to appeal, and the court of appeals therefore lacked jurisdiction to entertain the appeal.
