DECISION AND JUDGMENT {¶ 1} This accelerated, administrative appeal is before the court following the August 21, 2008 judgment of the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas which dismissed the appeal of plaintiffs-appellants, YJW Holdings, Ltd. and Young Joo Wheeler, against defendant-appellee, city of Toledo, for failure to exhaust their administrative remedies.
{¶ 2} Appellants raise the following assignments of error for our consideration: *Page 2
{¶ 3} "I. It constituted error to hold that Appellants failed to exhaust their administrative remedies.
{¶ 4} "II. It constituted error to hold that there was no jurisdiction to entertain Appellants' claim."
{¶ 5} This court has fully and carefully reviewed the record and the applicable case law and finds that the August 21, 2008 opinion and judgment entry of the Honorable Charles J. Doneghy is an appropriate and lawfully correct discussion of the facts and law involved in this case. Accordingly, we adopt the trial court's well-reasoned decision as our own (see Appendix A) with two minor citation changes: (1) Helms v.Northeast Ohio Four Cty. Regional Planning and Dev. Org, 9th Dist. No. 23526, 2007-Ohio-3059 (corrected Ohio WebCite number); and (2) IBM Corp.v. Bd. of Rev., 10th Dist. No. 06AP-108, 2006-Ohio-6258, ¶ 12 (corrected paragraph reference.)1 Appellants' first and second assignments of error are not well-taken.
{¶ 6} On consideration whereof, we find that substantial justice has been done the party complaining and the judgment of the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas is affirmed. Appellants are ordered to pay the costs of this appeal pursuant to App. R. 24. *Page 3 Judgment for the clerk's expense incurred in preparation of the record, fees allowed by law, and the fee for filing the appeal is awarded to Lucas County.
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
A certified copy of this entry shall constitute the mandate pursuant to App. R. 27. See, also, 6th Dist. Loc. App. R. 4.
