State ex rel. Snead v. Ferenc
Annotate this CaseAppellant pled guilty to several felonies. On March 11, 2002, the common pleas court entered a judgment entry of sentence. Eleven years later, Appellant filed a petition for writs of mandamus and prohibition, arguing that the March 11, 2002 judgment entry was defective because it did not indicate the manner of his conviction. On April 18, 2013, the trial court issued a nunc pro tunc judgment entry of sentence, this time indicating the manner of conviction. Appellant filed an amended petition, arguing that the nunc pro tunc entry did not cure the defective March 11, 2002 judgment entry. The court of appeals dismissed the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant’s challenge to the validity of the March 11, 2002 judgment entry had no merit because the entry contained all four of the required elements under Ohio R. Crim. P. 32(C).
