2024The court shall notify the offender that, if the conditions of the sanction are violated, if the offender commits a violation of any law, or if the offender leaves this state without the permission of the court or the offender's probation officer, the court may impose a longer time under the same sanction, may impose a more restrictive sanction, or may impose a prison term on the offender and shall indicate the range from which the prison term may be imposed as a sanction for the violation, which shall be the range of prison terms for the offense that is specified pursuant to section 2929.14 o

2023Thus, because he was not provided with each of the required notifications set forth in R.C. 2929.19(B)(4), Goldberg claims he is entitled to a resentencing. {¶ 56} R.C. 2929.19(B)(4) provides that, if the sentencing court imposes a community control sanction, the court "shall notify the offender" that, if the conditions of the sanction are violated, if the offender - 18 - Warren CA2022-12-075 commits a violation of any law, or if the offender leaves this state without the permission of the court or the offender's probation officer, the court may impose a longer time under the same sanction, ma

2006We note that “ ‘Civ.R. 37 permits the exclusion of expert testimony pursuant to a motion in limine as a sanction for the violation of Civ.R. 26(E)(1)(b).’ ” Huffman v. Hair Surgeon, Inc.

2000However, in Fairborn v. Mattachione (1995), 72 Ohio St.3d 345 , 346 , the Supreme Court of Ohio held that the exclusionary rule is not applicable as a sanction for a violation of the statutory right to counsel under R.C. 2935.20 .

1999No officer or any other agent of this state shall prevent, attempt to prevent, or advise such person against the communication, visit, or consultation provided for by this section." In Fairborn v. Mattachione (1995), 72 Ohio St.3d 345 , the Ohio Supreme Court was faced with a question as to whether the exclusionary rule was available as a sanction for a violation of R.C. 2935.20 .

2003The sanction for the violation of community control sanction should be the sanction that is commensurate with the seriousness of the violation and adequately protects `the public from future crime by the offender and others.'" McPherson , 142 Ohio App.3d at 433 , citing Griffin Katz, Ohio Felony Sentencing Law (2000 Ed.) 523-24, Sections T5.36. {¶ 20} In McPherson , we noted the trial court had failed to notify the defendant of the specific term of imprisonment that it would impose for a community control violation.

2002See State v. McPherson (2001), 142 Ohio App.3d 274 , 277 . {¶ 14} Turning to the language of 2929.19 (B)(5), which states, in relevant part: {¶ 15} "The court shall notify the offender that, if the conditions of the sanction are violated, if the offender commits a violation of any law, or if the offender leaves this state without the permission of the court or the offender's probation officer, the court may impose a longer time under the same sanction, may impose a more restrictive sanction, or may impose a prison term on the offender and shall indicate the specific prison term that may be imp

2012“It follows that any sentence imposed as a sanction for a violation of that post-release control is also void, and subject to vacation.” State v. Portis at ¶ 19; citing State v. Gingell, 128 Ohio St.3d 444 , 2011-Ohio-1481 , 946 N.E.2d 192 ; relying on State v. Bodyke, 126 Ohio St.3d 266 , 2010-Ohio-2424 , 933 N.E.2d 753 . {¶13} Accordingly, Appellant’s arguments are sustained and the trial court’s judgment denying Appellant’s motion to vacate is reversed.

2003State v. Marvin , 134 Ohio App.3d 63 , 69 , 1999-Ohio-811 . {¶ 22} We find, therefore, that a prison term is not an available option for appellant's violation of his community control sanction and the trial court erred in imposing a prison sentence that was contrary to law.

2002See, also, State v. Marvin (1999), 134 Ohio App.3d 63 , 68 ; State v. Carter (1999), 136 Ohio App.3d 367 , 369 ; and State v. McPherson (2001), 142 Ohio App.3d 274 , 278 , discretionary appeal not allowed, (2001), 93 Ohio St.3d 1416 , (If a trial court opts to impose a prison sentence, that sentence shall not exceed the term specified in the notice given to the offender at the sentencing hearing.) Appellant asserts that the trial judge erred in informing him at a hearing on a petition to revoke his community control that he would be sentenced to two consecutive eight month terms of imprisonmen

2026“The requirement of a statutorily defined notification upon sentencing of an offender to a community-control sanction is not satisfied by notification given in the trial court’s journal entry issued after sentencing.” State v. Hatfield, 2005-Ohio-6259, ¶ 8 (2d Dist.), citing Brooks at ¶ 17-18. {¶ 10} R.C. 2929.19 was amended, effective September 30, 2011, and former R.C. 2929.19(B)(5) then became R.C. 2929.19(B)(4). 2011 Am.Sub.H.B.

2025We do not believe that when the Legislature expressly provided that the sanction for a violation of probation (other than for the inherent criminality of the act) would be a revocation of probation, it intended that a defendant would be subject to a new indictment for contempt in addition to the punishment for the original offense. {¶ 28} In State v. Patton, 2007-Ohio-1296, ¶ 11 (10th Dist.), the Tenth District observed that appellate courts appear divided on this issue.

2025“Some courts have assumed that probation revocation proceedings are the sole remedy.” Id., citing State v. Smith, 2002-Ohio-6710, ¶ 8 (7th Dist.) (“The municipal court treated Smith’s alleged failure to 11. attend the counseling sessions as an act of contempt rather than a violation of probation.

2023Cuyahoga No. 93959, 2010-Ohio-5126 , ¶ 26, citing Gagnon at 786 (recognizing that the trial court must 4 provide an alleged sanction-violator with these minimal due process rights before imposing punishment for a sanction violation). {¶9} Ms. Bentley did not raise her objections before the trial court and, thus, “has forfeited all but plain error.” Osborne at ¶ 8, citing Crim.R. 52(B).
