PER CURIAM:
     Appellant  Cliff  Clay  appeals  from  the decision  of  the
Domestic  Relations  Division  of  Common  Pleas  Court  granting
appellee  Sherry  S.  Marsh's  motion  for default  judgment  and
adjudicating him to be the  father of her son Kaumau  A. Suttles,
born January 20, 1983.   The record reveals that  appellee Sherry
S.  Marsh,  while residing  in  North Carolina,  filed  a uniform
support petition seeking establishment of  paternity and an order
for  child  support  and medical  coverage.    Appellant  did not
answer, but appeared with counsel at a pretrial hearing where the
court  ordered  both parties  and  the  child  submit to  genetic
testing.  Appellee moved for a default judgment because appellant
failed  to submit a blood sample on August 17, 1993, September 8,
1993,  September  29, 1993,  and  October  27, 1993.    The court
granted the motion on August 5, 1994, adjudicated  paternity, and
incorporated the following language into the entry:  
          This  case  is   to  be   scheduled  ***  for   an
          evidentiary  hearing  on  the  issues  of  current
          support ***  and medical  coverage  for the  minor
          child.  
     Civ. R. 54(B) states in relevant part:  
          When more than  one claim for relief  is presented
          in  an  action  ***  the  court  may  enter  final
          judgment as to one  or more but fewer than  all of
          the claims *** only upon  an express determination
          that there is no just reason for delay.  ***.  
     In Stewart v. Midwestern  Indemn. Co. (1989), 45  Ohio St.3d
124, the court stated at 127:  
                                 - 3 -
          We have recently held  that an order is final  and
          appealable  only  if   the  requirements  of  R.C.
          2505.02  are  satisfied  and,  if applicable,  the
          requirements  of  Civ.  R.  54(B)  are  satisfied.
          (Citations omitted.)  ***   "However, when a court
          enters final judgment  as to fewer than all of the
          claims or  parties, it must  expressly state  that
          there is no just reason to delay an appeal on that
          judgment.  Without such  express determination, an
          order adjudicating fewer  than all  the claims  or
          parties '*** shall not terminate  the action as to
          any of the claims or parties ***.'"   
     In  the  original  petition,  appellee  sought  orders   for
establishment  of paternity, child support, and medical coverage,
but plainly,  the trial court has  thus far resolved only  one of
those  claims, and  has not  made an  express determination  with
respect to the required language contained in Civ. R. 54(B).  
     Our  court has  previously determined  in the  context  of a
paternity situation that the provisions of Civ.  R. 54(B) applied
when the trial court's journal entry clearly contemplated further
action and was not, therefore, a final  judgment.  See Nwabara v.
Willacy (May 6, 1994), Cuyahoga App. No. 65450, unreported.
     The court in Nwabara stated,
          We perceive of no reason why the same rule  should
          not  apply in  paternity proceedings, such  as the
          case sub judice,  where analogous attendant issues
          remain undetermined.
     Here,  the  trial  judge intended  further  hearings  on the
issues  of  both  support  and  medical  coverage  and  thus  the
paternity adjudication  is not a final appealable  order.  Hence,
we  do  not have  jurisdiction  to  consider the  merits  of this
appeal.  
                                 - 4 -
     We  conclude  then in  this case  that  the granting  of the
motion for default judgment which  only adjudicated paternity was
not a final appealable order and is not subject to our  review at
this time.  
     Appeal dismissed.  
                                 - 5 -
     It  is  ordered  that appellee  recover  of  appellant costs
