DATE OF JOURNALIZATION: APPEARANCES: For Plaintiff-Appellee: For Defendant-Appellant: DEBORAH J. NICASTRO DANIEL T. TODT Leader Bldg., Suite 340 Daniel T. Todt & Assoc. 526 Superior Avenue Standard Bldg., 20th Floor Cleveland, Ohio 44114 1370 Ontario Street Cleveland, Ohio 44113-1707 -2- ANN McMANAMON, J.: Cleveland Industrial Square, Inc. ("the landlord") sued Cleveland Telecommunications Corp. ("the tenant") for breach of a commercial lease. The landlord sought damages for, inter alia, unpaid rent and expenses incurred in re-renting the property, and attorney fees as provided in the lease agreement. The tenant counterclaimed for constructive eviction and demanded return of its security deposit. With the parties' agreement, the court submitted the issue of the landlord's right to attorney fees to the jury, but not the specific amount claimed for them. The jury returned a $13,890.24 verdict for the landlord and further found the landlord was entitled to attorney fees. 1 In one assignment of error , the tenant appeals the jury's verdict. Since the record lacks a final appealable order, we are compelled to dismiss the appeal. Absent certification that there is no just reason for delay, an order is not final and appealable unless it disposes of all the claims of all the parties. Civ. R. 54(B); Ford Motor Credit Co. v. Landmark A. Fund I (1983), 12 Ohio App. 3d 117. See, also, Chef Italiano Corp. v. Kent State Univ. (1989), 44 Ohio St. 3d 86. The issue of attorney fees remains pending. After the 1 Appellant's assignment of error: "THE TRIAL COURT ERRED WHEN A CONSTRUCTIVE EVICTION DEFENSE WAS RAISED BY DEFENDANT AND THE COURT WOULD NOT ALLOW DEFENDANT TO TESTIFY REGARDING THREATS AND STATEMENTS MADE BY PLAINTIFF TO DEFENDANT AND WHAT DEFENDANT DID IN RESPONSE WHEN SAID WORDS AND ACTIONS OF PLAINTIFF CAUSED DEFENDANT TO VACATE THE PREMISES, AND SAID STATEMENTS ARE ADMISSABLE PURSUANT TO OHIO RULE OF EVIDENCE, 801(D)(2)(a) AND THE CASE OF GOZ V. TENNEY 104 OHIO ST. 500 (1922)." -3- jury verdict, the trial court set a hearing date to determine the amount of the fee award but the record contains no entry addressing this issue. In the absence of such an entry or Civ. R. 54(B) certification, we are compelled to dismiss the appeal. Appeal dismissed. -4- It is ordered that appellee recover of appellant its costs herein taxed.
