  • Renewed Motion for Directed Verdict
    Based on the evidence presented by Plaintiffs, reasonable minds could only come to but one conclusion, and that conclusion is adverse to Plaintiffs. For the following reasons, this Court should enter a directed verdict in favor of Defendants on the above-mentioned claims and issues. Defendants reserve the right to supplement this Renewed Motion. LEGAL STANDARD “When a motion for a directed verdict is entered, what is being tested is a question of law; that is, the legal sufficiency of the evidence to take the case to the jury.” Ruta v. Breckenridge- Remy Co., 69 Ohio St.2d 66, 69 (1982). The Court shall sustain a motion for a directed verdict when “after construing the evidence most strongly in favor of the party against whom the motion is directed, [it] finds that upon any determinative issue reasonable minds could come to but one conclusion upon the evidence submitted and that conclusion is adverse to such party.” Civ.R. 50(A)(4); see Hawkins v. Ivy, 50 Ohio St.2d 114, 115 (1977). Just as summary judgment procedures are especially appropriate in the First Amendment area, so too are directed verdicts. Grau v. Kleinschmidt, 31 Ohio St.3d 84, 90 (1987), citing Dupler v. Mansfield News Journal, 64 Ohio St. 2d 116, 120 (1980). ARGUMENT I. Defendants are Entitled to a Directed Verdict on Plaintiffs’ Libel Claim as to the Student Senate Resolution. Two allegedly libelous statements are at issue in this lawsuit: (1) the Flyer and (2) the Student Senate Resolution (the “Resolution”).1 This Renewed Motion seeks a directed verdict in Defendants’ favor solely as to the Resolution.

  • Request for Proposals City of Oberlin, Ohio Branding and Cultural Wayfinding Signage Plan
    Request for Proposals City of Oberlin, Ohio Branding and Cultural Wayfinding Signage Plan Introduction The City of Oberlin, Ohio, in association with the Firelands Association for the Visual Arts (FAVA), is seeking proposals from qualified professionals who have proven experience with branding and wayfinding projects. Through this request for proposals (“RFP”) process, a qualified consultant will be selected that will develop a brand identity for Oberlin; and develop and implement a cultural wayfinding system for the City. Ultimately, the wayfinding signage program will be incorporated throughout the main pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular corridors in and around the City. The purpose of this request for proposals (“RFP”) is to provide information to prospective consultants detailing the City’s desired services and deliverables, the expectations relative to consultant qualifications and the proposal content. This information is intended to enable consultants to develop branding for Oberlin as an arts destination and to design cultural wayfinding signage. Project Background The City of Oberlin With its small town sense of community, the services of a large city, and the music, art, and science of a cosmopolitan center—all situated in just under five square miles—the City of Oberlin has justifiably earned numerous accolades, including being named one of the “top 20 best small towns to visit” by Smithsonian Magazine. Founded concurrently with Oberlin College in 1833, the City is famous for its rich and diverse history of progressive thought, innovation, and social activism. The community was a beacon of freedom during the years of the Underground Railroad, and Oberlin College was the first in the country to admit men and women of all races.
