In the Matter of N.B., Unpublished Decision (2-26-2004)

JOURNAL ENTRY AND OPINION {¶ 1} This appeal is before the Court on the accelerated docket pursuant to App.R. 11.1 and Loc.App.R. 11.1.

{¶ 2} This appeal is dismissed sua sponte for lack of a final appealable order pursuant to R.C. 2505.02. The order appealed from, inter alia, orders the children returned to this jurisdiction pending a hearing upon appellant's second motion for permanent custody. The trial court denied appellant's first motion for permanent custody, which this Court affirmed in In reN.B., Cuyahoga App. No. 81392, 2003-Ohio-3656. Thus, the order to return the children to this jurisdiction in order to determine the best interests of the children pending a hearing on appellant's successive motion for permanent custody is not a final appealable order under R.C. 2505.02.

{¶ 3} For the foregoing reason, this appeal is dismissed. The parties may move to reinstate this action within 30 days of obtaining a final appealable order.

{¶ 4} The appeal is dismissed.

Appeal dismissed.
