State v. Taylor, Unpublished Decision (7-20-2001)
Opinion of the Court
Courts have inherent authority to correct errors in judicial entries so that the record speaks the truth. State ex rel. Litty v. Leskovyansky
(1996),
Appellant has provided us with no transcript of the sentencing hearing or other evidence to show that the fines at issue were not part of the court's original intent. Absent such a record or evidence, we must presume the regularity of the proceedings. State v. Nichols (1997),
In this matter, we must presume that the sentencing court inadvertently omitted the challenged fines from its initial order and properly corrected this omission with its nunc pro tunc order. None of appellant's constitutional rights were infringed upon in this process. Accordingly, appellant's three assignments are not well-taken.
The judgment of the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas is affirmed. Costs to appellant.
A certified copy of this entry shall constitute the mandate pursuant to App.R. 27. See, also, 6th Dist.Loc.App.R. 4, amended 1/1/98.
