Syllabus

Civ.R. 53 failure to file objection to magistrate's decision extension Civ.R. 53(D)(5) Civ.R. 53(D)(4)(c) \good cause\ error of law or apparent defect plain error. Where defendant-appellant failed to object to the magistrate's decision within 14 days failed to demonstrate \good cause\ under Civ.R. 53(D)(5) and failed to show there was an error of law or apparent defect related to the magistrate's decision under Civ.R. 53(D)(4)(c), the reviewing court was to consider the matter under the plain-error doctrine. The trial court's miscalculation of the award for dental expenses constituted plain error the trial court's order on that specific award is reversed and the case remanded. The defendant-appellant's remaining assignments of error did not demonstrate plain error by the trial court and, therefore, we affirm the trial court's adoption of the magistrate's decision on the remaining assignments of error.
