Stark County, Case No. 2013CA00211 2
Baldwin, J.
{¶1} Appellant Daryl Lynn Guiley appeals a judgment of the Stark County
Common Pleas Court overruling his motion to correct his sentence. Appellee is the
State of Ohio.
STATEMENT OF FACTS AND CASE
{¶2} In 2012, appellant was charged by indictment with one count of attempted
murder, two counts of felonious assault, and one count of domestic violence. Appellant
entered a guilty plea to the attempted murder charge and one of the felonious assault
charges, while the remaining charges were dismissed. He was sentenced to eight
years incarceration for attempted murder and three years for felonious assault, to be
served concurrently. The sentencing entry states, “Pursuant to R.C. 2953.08(D), the
sentence of eight (8) years in prison imposed for the offenses are [sic] authorized by
law, has been approved jointly by the defendant and the prosecution.” Judgment Entry,
January 16, 2013.
{¶3} On August 12, 2013, appellant filed a motion to correct his sentence. The
trial court summarily overruled the motion. Appellant assigns four errors on appeal to
this Court:
{¶4} “I. TRIAL COURT ERRED IN NOT ADVISING OF THE RIGHT TO
APPEAL PURSUANT TO CRIMINAL RULE 32(B).
{¶5} “II. TRIAL COURT ERRED BY NOT CONSIDERING THE NECESSARY
FACTORS SET FORTH IN OHIO REVISED CODE 2929.11 AND 2929.12.
Stark County, Case No. 2013CA00211 3
{¶6} “III. TRIAL COURT ERRED WHEN CONVICTING OF CHARGES THAT
WERE TO BE MERGED AS ALLIED OFFENSES OF SIMILAR IMPORT PURSUANT
TO OHIO REVISED CODE SECTION 2941.25.
{¶7} “IV. TRIAL COUNSEL WAS INEFFECTIVE FOR FAILING TO
DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF DAYS OF CONFINEMENT OWED TO APPELLANT
PRIOR TO SENTENCING.”
I.-IV.
{¶8} Under the doctrine of res judicata, a final judgment of conviction bars a
convicted defendant who was represented by counsel from raising and litigating in any
proceeding, other than a direct appeal from the judgment, any defense or lack of due
process that was raised or could have been raised at the trial which resulted in the
judgment of conviction, or on appeal from that judgment. State v. Szefcyk, 77 Ohio St.
3d 93, 1996-Ohio-337, 671 N.E.2d 233, syllabus. The issues raised by appellant in his
motion to correct the sentence and in the instant appeal are all sentencing issues
cognizable on direct appeal from his judgment of conviction and sentence, and
appellant’s collateral attack on the judgment on these grounds is barred by res judicata.
{¶9} We recognize that appellant may not have been entitled to appellate
review of his sentence based on R.C. 2953.08(D)(1), which provides:
{¶10} “A sentence imposed upon a defendant is not subject to review under this
section if the sentence is authorized by law, has been recommended jointly by the
defendant and the prosecution in the case, and is imposed by a sentencing judge.”
Stark County, Case No. 2013CA00211 4
{¶11} However, to allow a defendant to collaterally attack a judgment on
grounds he could have raised on direct appeal if they had not barred by R.C.
2953.08(D)(1) would render that statute a nullity.
{¶12} Accordingly, appellant’s four assignments of error are overruled. The
judgment of the Stark County Common Pleas Court is affirmed. Costs are assessed to
appellant.
