Syllabus

Because appellant did not file a transcript of proceedings before the magistrate in support of her objection to the magistrate's factual findings, the Court of Claims was required to accept those findings and examine only the legal conclusions based on those facts. Appellate review of the court's findings was limited to whether the trial court abused its discretion in adopting the magistrate's decision. Because the magistrate's factual findings support the conclusion that appellee did not breach a duty of care owed to appellant, the court did not abuse its discretion when it overruled appellant's objections, adopted the magistrate's decision as its own, and entered judgment for appellee. Judgment affirmed.
