2021Resolution R98-1-02 contemplates a scenario when an employer is self-insured by including the language, “or refers the second application to a District Hearing Officer as a contested claims matter.” Further, the Ohio Supreme Court and the Ohio Revised Code specifically state that “workers’ compensation laws should be liberally construed in favor of employees.” Bailey v. Republic Engineered Steels, Inc., 91 Ohio St.3d 38 , 741 N.E.2d 121 (2001); R.C. 4123.95. {¶26} Additionally, this Court has previously applied the Greene analysis to a situation in which the employee of a self-insured employer

2020The Supreme Court of Ohio determined in State v. Saxon, 109 Ohio St.3d 176 , 2006-Ohio-1245 , ¶ 18, that “the doctrine [of res judicata] serves to preclude a defendant who has had his day in court from seeking a second on that same issue,” and it “promotes the principles of finality and judicial economy by preventing endless relitigation of an issue on which a defendant has already received a full and fair opportunity to be heard.” {¶13} Further, “[r]es judicata bars the relitigation of constitutional issues, State v. Lott, 97 Ohio St.3d 303 , 2002-Ohio-6625 , 779 N.E.2d 1011 , ¶ 19, including

2020As set forth above, Greene’s sole argument was a single sentence: “Furthermore, by the very definition asserted by the Relator in his Brief, the requested documents constitute a security record pursuant to R.C. 149.433.” But, because McDougald’s brief contains no definition of security record, this statement is peculiar at best. {¶ 28} While the majority acknowledges the deficiencies in Greene’s brief, it nevertheless rescues him by relying on a “suggestion”—not a holding—from Rogers, 155 Ohio St.3d 545 , 2018-Ohio-5111 , 122 N.E.3d 1208 .

Ford, 158 Ohio St.3d 139 , 2019-Ohio-4539 , 140 N.E.3d 616 , ¶ 196 (though detectives misled Ford by telling him that his DNA was found on shoes and gloves, it was insufficient to render his confession involuntary). {¶22} We have reviewed the transcript of the suppression hearing and the audio recording of Greene's interview with Detective Antinore and find that the trial court properly denied Greene’s motion to suppress.

2004Because Greene's motion is both untimely and barred by res judicata, and because State v. Comer, 99 Ohio St.3d 463 , 2003-Ohio-4165 , does not apply to the facts of his case, we affirm. {¶ 2} On May 8, 1998, Greene was convicted by a jury of one count of felonious assault, a violation of R.C. 2903.11 (B), with a firearm specification under R.C. 2941.145 .

2004Greene now appeals the trial court's decision, and raises one assignment of error: "The trial court improperly held that it did not have jurisdiction in vacating appellant-defendant's five (5) year old sentence." {¶ 5} Greene challenges the denial of his "Motion to Vacate Sentencing Order and Motion for a New Sentence." He specifically argues that the trial court violated R.C 2929.14 and R.C. 2929.19 when it failed to state, on the record, the reasons for imposing a prison term longer than the minimum sentence and in finding that the two sentences should be consecutive. {¶ 6} In support of his
