JUDGMENT ENTRY

ALAN C. TRAVIS, Judge.

{¶ 1} This case is sua sponte assigned to Judge Alan C. Travis to conduct all proceedings necessary for decision in this matter.

{¶ 2} On December 30, 2011, the magistrate issued a decision recommending judgment for plaintiff.

{¶ 3} Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(b)(i) states, in part: "A party may file written objections to a magistrate's decision within fourteen days of the filing of the decision, whether or not the court has adopted the decision during that fourteen-day period as permitted by Civ.R. 53(D)(4)(e)(i)."

{¶ 4} Civ.R. 53(D)(4)(e)(i) provides: "The court may enter a judgment either during the fourteen days permitted by Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(b)(i) for the filing of objections to a magistrate's decision or after the fourteen days have expired. If the court enters a judgment during the fourteen days permitted by Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(b)(i) for the filing of objections, the timely filing of objections to the magistrate's decision shall operate as an automatic stay of execution of the judgment until the court disposes of those objections and vacates, modifies, or adheres to the judgment previously entered."

{¶ 5} The court determines that there is no error of law or other defect evident on the face of the magistrate's decision. Therefore, the court adopts the magistrate's decision and recommendation as its own, including findings of fact and conclusions of law contained therein. Judgment is rendered in favor of plaintiff in the amount of $10,000. Court costs are assessed against defendant. The clerk shall serve upon all parties notice of this judgment and its date of entry upon the journal.
