DANIEL R. LANGSHAW Case No. 2021-00070PQ Requester Judge Patrick E. Sheeran v. JUDGMENT ENTRY CITY OF NORTH ROYALTON Respondent {¶1} On June 15, 2021, a Special Master issued a Report and Recommendation in this public-records case. The Special Master recommends a finding by the Court that Requester has not shown that Respondent violated R.C. 149.43(B) and an assessment of costs to Requester. {¶2} Neither party has filed timely written objections to the Report and Recommendation, as permitted by R.C. 2743.75(F)(2).1 Pursuant to R.C.

2743.75(F)(2), if neither party timely objects to a special master’s report and recommendation, then this Court is required to “promptly issue a final order adopting the report and recommendation, unless it determines that there is an error of law or other defect evident on the face of the report and recommendation.” {¶3} The Court determines that there is no error of law or other defect evident on the face of the Special Master’s Report and Recommendation of June 15, 2021. The 1 Requester—a self-represented litigant—has failed to notify the Court of a change of address because a mailing from the Court, which contained a copy of the Special Master’s Report and Recommendation, was returned to the Court by the United States Postal Service with the following notation: “Return To Sender[,] Unclaimed[,] Unable To Forward.” (Docket Entry, 8/20/2021.) The Tenth District Court of Appeals has stated, “Ohio courts have held that pro se litigants have the same duty as counsel to keep the trial court apprised of a change of address.” Investors REIT One v. Fortman, 10th Dist. Franklin No. 00AP-195, 2000 Ohio App. LEXIS 6267, at *14 (Jan. 16, 2000). Here, Requester ostensibly has failed to fulfil his duty to keep the Court apprised of a change of address.
