2012Golden v. Columbus, 404 F.3d 950, 965-966 (6th Cir.2005). {¶18} On appeal, appellants contend that the trial court erred in finding that “plaintiffs[ sic] only support for their [numerosity] position is the allegation in their complaint that faxes were sent to ‘forty-one or more recipients within the 216 and 440 area codes.’” Appellants contend that the numerosity requirement has been satisfied because (1) the amended complaint substantively alleges that Saratoga sent fax advertisements to “forty-one or more” recipients within the 216 or 440 telephone area codes, which must be taken as true, (

2005Burrell v. Sol Bergman Estate Jewelers, Inc. (1991), 77 Ohio App.3d 766 , 771 . {¶ 35} The magistrate finds that relators have failed to meet their burden for the numerosity requirement under Civ.R. 23(A).

1999Burrell, supra at 773 ; cf., Pusey v. Mahoning Valley Memorial Park, supra. The trial court's careful analysis after an oral hearing of the facts, the evidence, and the applicable legal standards as set forth in its opinion and order fails to reveal that an arbitrary, unreasonable or unconscionable attitude led to its decision to deny appellant's motion for class certification; therefore, this court cannot find the trial court abused its discretion when it determined appellant failed to meet the numerosity requirement of Civ.R. 23 (A) (1).
