BOGAN : : Defendant-appellant : DATE OF ANNOUNCEMENT OF DECISION JOURNAL ENTRY and OPINION : JULY 27, 2006 CHARACTER OF PROCEEDING : : : : Criminal appeal from Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case No. CR-396492 JUDGMENT : AFFIRMED. DATE OF JOURNALIZATION : APPEARANCES: For plaintiff-appellee : WILLIAM D. MASON Cuyahoga County Prosecutor MICHELLE D. EARLEY, Assistant Justice Center, 9th Floor 1200 Ontario Street Cleveland, Ohio 44113 For defendant-appellant : SHARON L. McDOWELL Attorney at Law P.O. Box 40103 Bay Village, Ohio 44140-0103 2 KENNETH A. ROCCO, P. J.: {¶ 1} In this appeal brought on the accelerated calendar, defendant-appellant James C. Bogan challenges the trial court s decision to deny on remand for a resentencing hearing his motion to withdraw his guilty plea to four counts of gross sexual imposition.1 {¶ 2} The purpose of an accelerated appeal is to allow this court to render a brief and conclusory opinion. Crawford v. Eastland Shopping Mall Assn. (1983), 11 Ohio App.3d 158. {¶ 3} Bogan argues in his sole assignment of error that the trial court abused its discretion in denying his motion. He contends that because his case had been remanded pursuant to State v. Bogan, Cuyahoga App. No. 84468, 2005-Ohio-34122 for resentencing, his motion to withdraw his guilty plea should have been treated as a motion made prior to sentencing. Pursuant to Crim.R. a 32.1, a pre-sentence motion to withdraw plea is considered under a more lenient standard than a post-sentence motion. {¶ 4} This court disagrees on the authority of State ex rel. Special Prosecutors v. Judges (1978), 55 Ohio St.2d 94. Accordingly, Bogan s assignment of error is overruled. 1 2 Bogan presents no challenge to his sentence. That opinion contains a thorough review of the facts underlying Bogan s original convictions. 3 {¶ 5} As recently stated in State v. Cvijetinovic, Cuyahoga App. No. 82894, 2003-Ohio-7071, the Ohio Supreme Court has held that when a conviction has been affirmed on appeal, as Bogan s convictions were, the trial court lacks jurisdiction subsequently to hear the defendant s motion to withdraw his guilty plea, since the judgment of the reviewing court is controlling upon the lower court as to all matters within the compass of the judgment. Id., at ¶12. {¶ 6} Consequently, since the trial court lacked jurisdiction to consider Bogan s motion, the motion properly was denied. Id., at ¶¶16-22. Affirmed. It is ordered that appellee recover of appellant costs herein taxed. The court finds there were reasonable grounds for this appeal. It is ordered that a special mandate issue out of this court directing the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas to carry this judgment into execution. The defendant's conviction having been affirmed, any bail pending appeal is terminated. the trial court for execution of sentence.
