{¶ 1} Warren D. Pack appeals from his conviction following a no-contest plea to
one count of aggravated drug possession, a fifth-degree felony.
{¶ 2} In his sole assignment of error, Pack contends the trial court erred in
imposing a statutory maximum 12-month prison sentence and in failing to award him
proper jail-time credit.
{¶ 3} The record reflects that Pack was indicted for aggravated drug possession in
August 2018. After the trial court overruled a suppression motion, he pled no contest to
the charge. The trial court found him guilty and imposed a 12-month prison term with 104
days of jail-time credit. It ordered the sentence to run concurrently with Pack’s sentence
in two other Montgomery County cases and a Clark County case.
{¶ 4} On appeal, Pack argues that his 12-month prison term in this case clearly
and convincingly was unsupported by the record. He contends the trial court should have
considered the absence of weapons involved in his offense, the lack of serious physical
harm, the absence of economic loss, his remorse, and his good behavior in jail while
awaiting sentencing. Pack also argues that the trial court should have awarded him 309
days of jail-time credit rather than 104 days.
{¶ 5} Upon review, we note that the trial court’s judgment entry imposing Pack’s
sentence was filed on June 17, 2019. By its own terms, his concurrent 12-month prison
sentence in this case expired months ago. Although the Ohio Department of
Rehabilitation and Correction’s web site reflects that Pack remains incarcerated, we note
that he is still serving a 30-month sentence in one of the other Montgomery County cases.
{¶ 6} Because Pack has completed his 12-month sentence in this case, his
-3-
challenges to the length of that sentence and to the trial court’s calculation of jail-time
credit are moot. State v. Eleyet, 2018-Ohio-4879, 125 N.E.3d 380, ¶ 3 (2d Dist.); State v.
Robinson, 2d Dist. Montgomery Nos. 26712, 26713, 2016-Ohio-3277, ¶ 4. Given that
Pack’s only arguments are directed toward a prison sentence that he has completed,
there is no meaningful remedy available.
{¶ 7} For the foregoing reasons, Pack’s appeal is dismissed as moot.
