State ex rel. Cowell v. Croce

by
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the complaint of Appellant for writs of mandamus and/or procedendo against Summit County Court of Common Pleas Judge Christine Croce. In his complaint, Appellant argued that his sentence was void because the trial court incorrectly found that none of the offenses were allied offenses and it failed to make the necessary findings before imposing consecutive sentences. The court of appeals dismissed the complaint on the grounds that Appellant had failed to comply with the mandatory filing requirements of Ohio Rev. Code 2969.25(A) and (C). The Supreme Court held that the court of appeals correctly determined that Appellant failed to comply with section 2969.25(C) and thus properly dismissed the action. View "State ex rel. Cowell v.
