OPINION *Page 2{¶ 1} Plaintiff-appellant Thomas J. Brison appeals the October 23, 2006 Entry of the Fairfield County Court of Common Pleas which granted Defendant-appellee Elite-1 Electric, Inc.'s Motion to Dismiss Complaint.¹

STATEMENT OF THE CASE²{¶ 2} On September 16, 2004, Appellant filed a complaint seeking an additional allowance of his previously recognized worker's compensation claim. Appellant voluntarily dismissed that complaint on September 1, 2005. On August 10, 2006, Appellant re-filed the complaint which is the subject of this appeal.

{¶ 3} Appellant had previously filed a separate action of an alleged different additional allowance on September 16, 2003. Appellant had also dismissed that action voluntarily on September 22, 2004. Appellant refiled that action on September 2, 2005, but it was dismissed by the trial court on November 17, 2005.

{¶ 4} On October 23, 2006, the trial court granted Appellee's Motion to Dismiss the complaint Appellant had refiled on August 10, 2006, based upon the two-dismissal rule found in Civ. R. 41(A). The Entry provided Appellee's costs and attorney fees incurred in the action are assessed against Appellant in an amount to be determined by the Court.³

{¶ 5} We find we do not have jurisdiction to hear this appeal under R.C. 2505.02. Despite the trial court's declaration its October 23, 2006 Entry was a final *Page 3 appealable order, we find it is not final as it has yet to determine the amount of costs and attorney fees to be awarded Appellee.

{¶ 6} Accordingly, we dismiss Appellant's appeal.

By: Hoffman, J., Gwin, P.J. and Edwards, J. concur.
