IN THE COURT OF CLAIMS OF OHIO
KURT FANKHAUSER Case No. 2026-00180PQ
Requester Judge Lisa L. Sadler
v. JUDGMENT ENTRY
BUCYRUS TOURISM AND VISITORS
BUREAU
Respondent
{¶1} In this public-records case, a special master has issued a report and
recommendation. The special master recommends that the court: (1) dismiss requester’s
complaint for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, and (2) order requester to bear the costs
of this case.
{¶2} Neither requester nor respondent has filed timely written objections to the
report and recommendation in accordance with R.C. 2743.75(F)(2). Pursuant to R.C.
2743.75(F)(2), if neither party timely objects, then this court “shall 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.” Upon
independent review, the court finds that there is no error of law or other defect evident on
the face of the report and recommendation. The court therefore adopts the report and
recommendation.
{¶3} In accordance with the special master’s recommendations, the court:
1) Dismisses requester’s complaint for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction; and
2) Orders requester to bear the costs of this case.
