Syllabus

Appellate jurisdiction subject-matter jurisdiction exclusive jurisdiction Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. - The appellate court had jurisdiction to consider the appeal even though the trial court's dismissal entry did not specifically dismiss appellant's claims against the John/Jane Doe defendants because although appellant's complaint named the Doe defendants, it did not state any claims against them, the trial court's entry implicitly dismissed the claims against them, and the entry contained the requisite Civ.R. 54(B) language the trial court properly dismissed appellant's claims against the defendants — a public utility, a natural gas supplier, and its owner — for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction because the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio had exclusive jurisdiction over appellant's service- and rate-related claims.
