Mayfield Village, Ohio 44143 JAMES J. SWEENEY, J.: {¶1} Defendant-appellant, CRC Property Management, LLC (“CRC”) appeals from the lower court’s decision that dismissed the underlying action without disposing of its pending counterclaim. Plaintiff-appellee, village of Mayfield (“Mayfield”) concedes this was error. For the reasons that follow, we dismiss the appeal for lack of a final, appealable order.

{¶2} Mayfield filed a complaint for equitable relief, preliminary and permanent injunction against multiple parties related to a parcel of real estate located in Mayfield, Ohio. The property owner, defendant Yvonne Flagg, transferred her interest to CRC who was then substituted as a defendant in this action. CRC filed an answer and cross-claim on January 18, 2011. CRC later filed a motion for default judgment on its counterclaim.

{¶3} The trial court entered an agreed final injunction, however, the cross-claim was not resolved by default judgment or otherwise. The parties agree that the trial court’s order did not dispose of all of the pending claims in this case nor did it contain Civ.R. 54(B) language. The appeal is dismissed for lack of a final, appealable, order. Miles Landing Homeowners Assn. v. Bikkani, 8th Dist. Nos. 86356 and 86942, 2006-Ohio-3328, ¶ 22.

{¶4} Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed and the matter is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

It is ordered that appellee recover of appellant its costs herein taxed.

The court finds there were reasonable grounds for this appeal.

A certified copy of this entry shall constitute the mandate pursuant to Rule 27 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
