ANTHONY O. CALABRESE, JR., J.:
 
     Having reviewed the record, we find that the trial court 's
 
order of September 7, 2003 was not a final appealable order, as the
 
issue of damages was left unresolved.      State ex rel. White v.
 
Cuyahoga Metro. Hous. Auth. (1997), 79 Ohio St.3d 543; Bautista v.
 
Kolis (2001), 142 Ohio App.3d 169. In turn, the trial court 's
 
order denying appellant's motion for relief from judgment is also
 
not a final appealable order. Vanest v. Pillsbury Co. (1997), 124
 
Ohio App.3d 525, 532. Therefore, we are without jurisdiction to
 
hear this appeal. Section 3(B)(2), Article IV of the Ohio
 
Constitution; see, also, R.C. 2501.02. For those reasons,
 
appellees' motion to dismiss is granted.
 
     Appeal dismissed.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                               -4-
 
    It is ordered that appellees recover of appellant costs herein
 
taxed.
 
    A certified copy of this entry shall constitute the mandate
 
pursuant to Rule 27 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
 
 
                              ______________________________
                                ANTHONY O. CALABRESE, JR.
 
FRANK D. CELEBREZZE, JR., P.J., and
 
DIANE KARPINSKI, J.,        CONCUR.
 
 
 
 
   N.B. This entry is an announcement of the court's decision.
See App.R. 22(B), 22(D) and 26(A); Loc.App.R. 22. This decision
will be journalized and will become the judgment and order of the
court pursuant to App.R. 22(E) unless a motion for reconsideration
with supporting brief, per App.R. 26(A), is filed within ten (10)
days of the announcement of the court's decision. The time period
for review by the Supreme Court of Ohio shall begin to run upon
the journalization of this court's announcement of decision by the
clerk per App.R. 22(E). See, also S.Ct.Prac.R. II, Section
2(A)(1).
