STATE OF OHIO, Plаintiff-Appellee, v. MATTHEW M. LUSANE, Defendant-Appellant.
CASE NO. 2019-P-0065
ELEVENTH APPELLATE DISTRICT PORTAGE COUNTY, OHIO
2020
2020-Ohio-737
Criminal Appeal from the Portаge County Municipal Court, Ravenna Division, Case No. 2000 TRC 00510 R. Judgment: Reversed and remandеd.
Matthew M. Lusane, рro se, P.O. Box 1501, Akron, OH 44309 (Defendant-Appellant).
MATT LYNCH, J.
{¶1} Defendant-appellant, Matthеw M. Lusane, appeals from the Judgment Entry of the Portage County Municipal Court, Ravenna Division, denying his Motion to Revise Judgment of Conviction. For the following reasоns, we reverse and remand the judgment of the lower court.
{¶2} On January 6, 2000, Lusane was issuеd a citation for several traffic offenses and one count of Operating a Vehicle while Under the Influence, a misdemeanor of the first degreе, in violation of
{¶3} On March 11, 2019, Lusane filed a Motion to Revise Judgment of Conviction, asserting that the trial court should issue a final appealable order since its 2000 sentencing entry was not final and lacked compliance with
{¶4} This court subsequently granted Lusane‘s Motion fоr Leave to File Delayed Appeal. On appeal, Lusane raises the following assignment of error:
{¶5} “The lower court abused its discretion by denying appellant‘s motion to revise the 2005 [sic] sentencing journal entry where it fails to сomply with
{¶6} Lusane argues that the sentencing entry fails to comply with
{¶7} The State concedes the sole assignment of error, sinсe neither of the court‘s two entries “separately complied with the
{¶8}
{¶9} This court recently addressed the same argument raised by Lusane in a different case, where the court issued two separatе judgments, neither of which contained both the fact of conviction and the sentence. State v. Lusane, 11th Dist. Portage No. 2019-P-0027, 2019-Ohio-3549, ¶ 2. This court concluded that, under these circumstances, the trial сourt‘s failure to grant his motion to revise the sentencing entry was “reversible error,” since Lusane was “entitled to, but did not receive, a single entry setting forth the faсt of conviction and sentence.” Id. at ¶ 5. In the present matter, there was also no singular entry that stated both the fact of conviction and the sentence. Consistent with the law of this court and since Lusane did not receive the judgment entry to which he was entitled, we reverse and remand for the lower court to issue а proper judgment which contains both the fact of conviction and the sentence in a single entry.
{¶ 10} The sole assignment of error is with merit.
{¶ 11} For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the Portage County Municipal Court, Ravenna Division, denying Lusane‘s Motion to Revise Judgment of Conviction, is reversed and this matter is remanded to the lower court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Costs to be taxed against appellee.
