{¶ 18} A review of the record below, however, reveals that appellant failed to object to the Magistrate's signing of the judgment entry on behalf of the trial court judge and failed to raise this issue at thе trial court level herein arguing it for the first time on appeal. We find that appellant therefore has waived review of this issue by fаiling to raise it at the trial level.
{¶ 19} It is well established that a party cаnnot raise any new issues or legal theories for the first time on appeal."Dolan v. Dolan, 11th Dist. Nos. 2000-T-0154 and 2001-T-0003,
{¶ 20} Failure tо raise this issue before the trial court operates as a waiver of Appellant's right to assert such for the first time on appeal. See Hypabyssal, Ltd. v. City of AkronHous. Appeals Bd. (Nov. 22, 2000), 9th Dist. No. 20000, citingState ex rel. Zollner v. Indus. Comm. (1993),
