The Tenth District Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling that dismissed Diallo's objections to the foreclosure of his Noe Bixby Road residence. After an April 2025 sheriff's auction yielded surplus funds, a magistrate awarded the excess to the victim's estate under Ohio's slayer statute. A lower court had previously deemed Diallo's lack-of-service defense waived because he participated in hearings over the remaining funds. Franklin County courts must now specifically determine if Diallo was properly served or submitted to jurisdiction before the initial judgment was rendered.

A foreclosure case that appeared to be over is back in court after an Ohio appeals court raised questions about whether the property owner had been properly notified of the original proceedings. The homeowner, who is serving time for the murder of his wife, lost his Columbus home to a foreclosure initiated by the bank while he was behind bars. But the case resurfaced when a separate dispute erupted over who would get the money after the sheriff's sale produced more than $61,000 in surplus proceeds. The Tenth District Court of Appeals in Ohio on Nov. 10, 2026, reversed a lower court’s denial of a motion to reconsider a foreclosure judgment. The court ruled that the owner's later participation in the proceedings could not be grounds for an automatic finding that he had been properly served in the course of the proceedings.
