Pinson v. Triplett
458 N.E.2d 461
Ohio Ct. App.
1983
Check Treatment

Defendants appeal from an order of the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County overruling their motion to vacate a "default judgment" rendered against them. The entry sought to be vacated recites failure of defendants to plead or defend, grants default judgment on the issue of liability, and sets a future hearing on the issue of damages.

Because that order is not a final appealable order (Fireman'sFund Ins. Co. v. BPS Co. [1982], 4 Ohio App.3d 3), the order declining to vacate it cannot be a final appealable order. Accordingly, this appeal must be dismissed, sua sponte. SeeWhitaker-Merrell v. Geupel Co. (1972), 29 Ohio St.2d 184 [58 O.O.2d 399].

Appeal dismissed.
