2022Thus, as the April 5, 2022 decision was not an order approving a motion under R.C. 2950.11(H)(1), R.C. 2950.11(H)(3) does not grant the state a right to appeal. {¶ 17} As the state does not have authority to appeal the April 5, 2022 decision as of right, the state must seek leave to appeal. " 'The decision to grant or deny a motion for leave to appeal by the state in a criminal case is solely within the discretion of the court of appeals.' " State v.

Waddell, 71 Ohio St.3d 630, 631 , 646 N.E.2d 821 (1995).

2017Montgomery No. 26473, 2016-Ohio-5869, ¶ 8 . {¶ 29} Wright’s challenge to the trial court’s self-defense instruction centers around the “duty to retreat” element and the court’s failure to incorporate what is known as the “castle doctrine.” Under the common law “castle doctrine,” a defendant has no duty to retreat from his home.

2013The assertions made in Wright’s affidavit were, therefore, not rebutted. “‘It is reversible error for a trial court to disregard the unchallenged testimony that a person did not receive service.’” Wood, 2010-Ohio-1339 , at ¶ 12, quoting Jacobs, 2006-Ohio-1312, at ¶ 17 . {¶16} Based on the fact that the assertions made in Wright’s affidavit were not rebutted, and in accordance with this Court’s holding in Wood, we conclude that service on Wright was ineffective. “‘Where service of process is not made in accordance with the Rules of Civil Procedure, the trial court lacks jurisdiction to consider
