Shaw, Presiding Judge.

Plaintiff-appellant Joel L. Burrell, M.D., appeals from the decision of Court of Common Pleas of Seneca County that rendered judgment in favor of defendant-appellee, Charles B. Kassicieh, M.D.

On April 3, 1997, Burrell filed a complaint alleging assault and battery claims against Kassicieh for an incident that occurred on April 3, 1996. In response, Kassicieh’s filed an answer on May 23, 1997. Within this same document, a two-count counterclaim was also asserted, alleging that Burrell’s complaint violated the frivolous conduct prohibition within R.C. 2323.51 and Civ.R. 11.
