Opinion of the Court
OPINION
On June 8, 1998, appellee Aultman Hospital filed the instant action in the Canton Municipal Court seeking judgment on an account for $910.55, for medical services provided to appellant John Glasure. According to the complaint, the bill for services rendered was incurred on January 20, 1992, and remained unpaid at the time the complaint was filed. The complaint was filed against appellant John Glasure, as well as his wife, Rita Glasure. On October 13, appellee filed a motion for summary judgment with an attached affidavit. The affidavit averred that appellee provided services to appellant John Glasure in the amount $910.55, plus interest, and that the amount remained unpaid. The court set November 2 as the date on which the motion for summary judgment would be considered. On November 2, appellants notified the court that they had just received notice of the court's intent to rule, and did not have time to respond. The court extended the time to respond to the motion for summary judgment to November 19, and scheduled trial for December 1. After the court granted a motion to compel discovery, appellants filed answers to written interrogatories on November 19, 1998. In these interrogatories, appellant John Glasure claimed that a person named Getz and another person named Rainiere had advised him that the account had been written off. However, he also admitted that he had received no documentation from anyone associated with Aultman Hospital, stating that he had no obligation to pay the bill in question. Appellants did not respond to appellee's motion for summary judgment. On November 25, 1998, the court granted the motion for summary judgment, and entered judgment in favor of appellee in the amount of $910.55. We note at the outset that appellants' brief does not comply with App. R. 16 (A). Nevertheless, we extrapolate the following assignments of error:The judgment of the Canton Municipal Court is affirmed.
