State v. Reyes, 55 N.E.3d 485

In June 2010, Reyes pleaded guilty to four counts of rape and one count of violating a protective order and received 30 years' prison time with Tier III designation.
At sentencing, the court failed to inform Reyes of the right to appeal, and the final judgment contained no such notification.
Reyes did not timely appeal; about 30 months later he sought a delayed appeal and the appellate court denied relief in 2013 (State v. Reyes, 2013-Ohio-1493).
Approximately twenty months after that decision, Reyes filed a petition to vacate under R.C. 2953.21 alleging due process violation for the lack of appellate notice.
The trial court denied the petition within four days, and Reyes challenged on appeal that Gover required reissuing judgment to restart the appeal period.
The court held the petition was untimely under R.C. 2953.21(A)(2) (180-day filing window) and denied relief without a hearing.

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument	Defendant's Argument	Held
Whether the petition to vacate was timely filed	Reyes asserts due-process error necessitates relief and reinstate appeal period.	State argues untimely petition under 2953.21(A)(2) and no due-diligence shown.	Petition time-barred; no hearing. Denial affirmed.
