Judge Joseph T. Clark
JUDGMENT ENTRY
{¶ 1} On December 17, 2009, this case was tried to the court on the issue of
liability. At the close of plaintiff/counter defendant’s, Michael Raccuia dba Michren
Company (Raccuia) case, defendant/counter plaintiff, Kent State University (KSU),

facts and the law Raccuia has shown no right to relief. Accordingly, the court GRANTS
KSU’s motion.

Therefore, the court sua sponte DISMISSES KSU’s counterclaim.

pursuant to Civ.R. 41(B)(2), and KSU’s counterclaim is DISMISSED. Court costs are
