STEPHEN S. VANEK, ESQ. FRIEDMAN, DOMIANO & SMITH Sixth Floor, Standard Bldg. 1370 Ontario Street Cleveland, Ohio 44113-1701 For Defendant-Appellee: STANLEY S. KELLER, ESQ. KELLER AND CURTIN The Hanna Building, Suite 330 1422 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44115-1901 -2- JUDGE TERRENCE O'DONNELL: We stayed the within cause pending determination of the same issue presented here by the Ohio Supreme Court in Hillyer v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., 97 Ohio St.3d ____, 2002-Ohio-6662, and the other cases it decided in that opinion. There, the court stated, "we find that the limited liability coverage that may arise under the residence-employee exception in a homeowner's insurance policy is insufficient to transform the policy into a motor vehicle policy for purposes of former R.C. 3937.18(A)." We now lift that stay. Inasmuch as the issue presented for review here concerns whether residence employee coverage in a homeowner's policy creates UIM coverage by operation of law, in accord with Hillyer, it does not. Accordingly, for the reasons expounded by the Ohio Supreme Court in Hillyer, the assignment of error presented is overruled and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed. -3- It is ordered that appellee recover of appellant its costs herein taxed. The court finds there were reasonable grounds for this appeal. It is ordered that a special mandate issue out of this court directing the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas to carry this judgment into execution. A certified copy of this entry shall constitute the mandate pursuant to Rule 27 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure. JUDGE TERRENCE O'DONNELL ANNE L. KILBANE, P.J. and FRANK D.
