[Cite as Nations Title Ins. of New York, Inc. v. Bertram, 2001-Ohio-246.] Appeal dismissed as improvidently allowed.

__________________

{¶ 1} The cause is dismissed, sua sponte, as having been improvidently allowed.

MOYER, C.J., DOUGLAS, RESNICK, F.E. SWEENEY, PFEIFER and LUNDBERG STRATTON, JJ., concur.

COOK, J., dissents.

__________________

COOK, J., dissenting. {¶ 2} I disagree with the majority’s decision to dismiss this cause as improvidently allowed. As the court of appeals noted, this case presents our court with its first opportunity to apply R.C. 1339.08. Our state’s bench, bar, financial institutions, and fiduciaries could benefit from this court’s analysis of the summary- judgment proceedings that occurred here under this section of the Uniform Fiduciary Act. Because I would affirm the judgment of the court of appeals, I respectfully dissent.
