{¶1} In this public-records case, a special master has issued a supplemental report
and recommendation. The special master recommends that the court find that

the court deny the Motion to Enforce Final Judgment, for Sanctions, and for Order to
Show Cause filed by requester on March 5, 2026.
{¶2} Neither requester nor respondent has filed timely written objections to the
supplemental 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 supplemental report and recommendation. The
court adopts the supplemental report and recommendation.
{¶3} In accordance with the special master’s recommendations, the court finds that
respondent has complied with the judgment entry issued on February 2, 2026.
