State v. Stith

9-25-41

State v. McMahan

17-25-19

Res Judicata; R.C. 2953.21; Manifest Injustice; Crim.R. 32.1; Motion to Withdraw Pleas; Crim.R. 11(F); Motion for Transcript. Defendant's untimely assignments of error related to matters that could have been brought on a timely direct appeal or in a petition for postconviction relief are barred by res judicata. The trial court did not err by denying a hearing on a postsentence motion to withdraw a plea when defendant failed to make a sufficient showing of manifest injustice. The trial court did not err in denying defendant's motion for a transcript at public expense when the motion was based on a Crim.R. 32.1 motion to withdraw and not an appeal or a comparable postconviction proceeding. The trial court did not err in finding defendant's motion to withdraw his plea was untimely when the motion was based on allegations outside the record that were not filed as a timely R.C. 2953.21 motion for postconviction relief, and where undue delay affected the credibility of defendant under a Crim.R. 32.1 standard.
