Syllabus

Summary judgment credit card account assignment discovery Civ.R. 56(F) continuance. Affirmed the trial court's decision granting summary judgment in favor of plaintiff-appellee in an action to recover an outstanding balance due on a credit card account. Because defendant-appellant did not request a Civ.R. 56(F) continuance to conduct further discovery and additional discovery was unnecessary to resolve the pertinent issues raised in the motion for summary judgment, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by ruling on the motion. Plaintiff-appellee presented sufficient evidence in support of its motion, including evidence of the outstanding balance owed and a valid assignment of the account.
