2017Strickland v. Washington , 466 U.S. 668 , 687, 104 S.Ct. 2052 , 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984).

2001Strickland, supra. Here, the task undertaken by defense counsel was not an easy one, under the existing circumstances, and the Appellant's seventh assignment of error, in all of its parts, must give way to the observations of the Supreme Court of Ohio in State v. Bradley, supra. Accordingly, the alleged error is overruled.

2025Applicable Law {¶31} “We review de novo whether certain offenses should be merged as allied offenses under R.C. 2941.25.” State v. Bailey, 2022-Ohio-4407, ¶ 6 .

2023“Under the plain-error doctrine, intervention by a reviewing court is warranted only under exceptional circumstances to prevent injustice.” State v. Bailey, 171 Ohio St.3d 486 , 2022-Ohio-4407 , 218 N.E.3d 858, ¶ 8 .

2023N.B. also made reference to Mack wanting to play “home.” Lastly, Mack threatened J.C. and Z.B. not to tell anyone about the touching, from which an illicit purpose may be inferred. {¶63} The second and third assignments of error are without merit. {¶64} In the seventh assignment of error, Mack argues that it was plain error for the trial court not to merge the three counts of Gross Sexual Imposition as allied offenses. {¶65} In the present case, no objection was raised to sentences being imposed for each count of Gross Sexual Imposition. “[T]he failure to raise the allied offense issue at the

2015A genuine issue of material fact is not created by the contradictory evidence submitted from a nonmoving party in a summary judgment motion absent some No. 14AP-133 11 sufficient explanation of the contradiction. "[W]hen an inconsistent affidavit is presented in support of, or in opposition to, a motion for summary judgment, a trial court must consider whether the affidavit contradicts or merely supplements the affiant's earlier sworn testimony. * * * A nonmoving party's contradictory affidavit must sufficiently explain the contradiction before a genuine issue of material fact is created." Byr

2015The seventh assignment of error challenges summary judgment on the claims for breach of fiduciary duty, quantum meruit, unjust enrichment, conversion, and tortious interference.1 {¶ 13} “Summary judgment will be granted only when there remains no genuine issue of material fact and, when construing the evidence most strongly in favor of the nonmoving party, reasonable minds can only conclude that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Byrd v. Smith, 110 Ohio St.3d 24 , 2006-Ohio-3455 , 850 N.E.2d 47 , ¶ 10, citing Civ.R. 56(C).

2008Preston , 32 Ohio St.3d at 336 . {¶ 92} The seventh assignment of error is with merit. {¶ 93} For the forgoing reasons, the judgment of the Portage County Court of Common Pleas is reversed with respect to the individual plaintiffs' claims for compensatory damages based on alleged violations of R.C. 3733.10(A)/Adm. Code 3701-27-07(A), the class representative plaintiffs' claims for loss of use/loss of enjoyment damages based on alleged violations of R.C. 3733.10(A)/Adm. Code 3701-27-07(A), the class representative plaintiffs' claims for permanent injunction based on alleged violations of R.C. 3

2007Kidd maintains that sentencing enhancements for Major Drug Offenders were eliminated by the Ohio Supreme Court's decision in State v. Foster , 109 Ohio St.3d 1 , 2006-Ohio-856 , as demonstrated by State v. Chandler , 109 Ohio St.3d 223 , 2006-Ohio-2285 . {¶ 86} This court has previously considered and rejected this argument.

2006He claims that the court's imposition of a sentence in excess of the minimum statutory term was based on judge-found facts and therefore was unconstitutional pursuant to State v. Foster, 109 Ohio St.3d 1 , 2006-Ohio-856 .

2026During the testimony regarding the Foster incident, Beese testified that he asked McInnes to complete a “Form M” use-of-force report after viewing Johnson’s body-camera video “because it appeared he used force.” (Tr. 698.) McInnes argues the use of the Form M during trial constituted a Garrity violation pursuant to Garrity v. New Jersey, 385 U.S. 493 (1967).

2024In support of his argument, Woods relies on the Maryland Supreme Court’s recent decision in Abruquah v. State, 483 Md. 637 , 296 A.3d 961 (2023).

2024In the seventh assignment of error, Simon asserts that the trial court abused its discretion when it refused to recognize and apply to his case the retroactive holding set forth in State v. Turner, 163 Ohio St.3d 421 , 2020- Ohio-6773, 170 N.Ed.3 842. {¶2} However, our review has found that Simon’s postconviction pleadings are untimely, and that he has failed to provide clear and convincing evidence that he was unavoidably prevented from discovery of evidence which he claims is relevant to the propriety of the traffic stop which led to his arrest on two felony drug charges and ultimately, two
