Syllabus

On appeal from the Franklin County Court Common Pleas Court granting defendant's motion to dismiss for failure of service of process as required by Civ.R. 3(A). Pursuant to Gliozzo v. Univ. Urologists of Cleveland, Inc., 2007-Ohio-3762, a defendant's active participation in a lawsuit does not forfeit the affirmative defense of insufficient service of the complaint where a defendant has properly raised and preserved the defense by raising it in a responsive pleading. Accordingly, appellant's assignments of error are overruled and the judgment is affirmed.
