Brown, Douglas, Holmes, Locher, Moyer, Sweeney, Wright

Opinion of the Court

The judgment of the court of appeals is hereby affirmed on authority of Clementi v. Wean United, Inc. (1988), 39 Ohio St. 3d 342, 530 N.E. 2d 909.

Moyer, C.J., Locher, Holmes, Wright and H. Brown, JJ., concur. Sweeney and Douglas, JJ., dissent.

Dissenting Opinion

Douglas, J.,

dissenting. I respectfully dissent. For the reasons stated in my dissent in Clementi v. Wean United, Inc. (1988), 39 Ohio St. 3d 342, 530 N.E. 2d 909, this case should be reversed on the authority of Dent v. AT&T Technologies (1988), 38 Ohio St. 3d 187, 527 N.E. 2d 821. It appears to me that this case and Dent are inapposite to Clementi — but then I readily admit that I do not understand Clementi.

Sweeney, J., concurs in the foregoing dissenting opinion.
