2007We disagree. {¶ 34} As previously stated in State v. Lacey , Richland County App. No. 2005-CA-119, in examining the reasonableness of conditions imposed as part of a defendant's probation for a felony violation, the Ohio Supreme Court noted in State v.

2026A court shall not impose more than one prison term on an offender under division (B)(11) of this section for felonies committed as part of the same act. {¶27} As the First District concluded in Gill, supra, 2024- Ohio-2792 (1st Dist.), read together, R.C. 2929.14 and 2941.1410 only authorize the imposition of an additional prison term for an MDO specification when the drug involved is a fentanyl- related compound or a mixture thereof.

Bryant, 2022-Ohio-1878 . {¶ 22} Upon review, we find the trial court's sentence is not clearly and convincingly contrary to law.

2014In support of this claim, Richter argues the municipal court improperly applied R.C. 2929.41(B)(3) by ordering his jail term to run consecutive to his prison sentence as that statute was merely "intended to grant power to the common pleas court when sentencing a defendant for specific misdemeanor and felony sentences at the same time." {¶ 8} Pursuant to R.C. 2929.41(A), it is presumed that misdemeanor and felony "sentences would be served concurrently unless a court stated otherwise."
