Syllabus

Negligence objection Civ.R. 53. The court denied ODRC's request for leave to support its objections through alternate technology. Absent a transcript of the evidence before the magistrate, the court denied ODRC's objections related to the magistrate's proximate cause determinations. The context of plaintiff's injury supported the magistrate's determination of legal duty because at the time of plaintiff's injury, ODRC's maintenance repair worker was about 20 feet from where plaintiff was using the miter saw and could see plaintiff from his office. The court adopted the magistrate's decision and recommendation as its own, including conclusions of law contained therein. Judgment rendered in favor of plaintiff with a 40 percent diminishment in any award for compensatory damages.
