State v. Kelly, Unpublished Decision (3-30-2001)
Opinion of the Court
OPINION
Defendant-appellant James A. Kelly appeals from the trial court's order denying his motion "for enlargement on probation." Kelly contends that the trial court failed to consider an alleged breach, by the State, of a negotiated plea agreement, and that the trial court failed to consider the fact that the Ohio Adult Parole Authority has deemed him to have committed greater offenses than those to which he pled guilty, for purposes of deciding whether to admit him to parole.We conclude that Kelly's motion "for enlargement on probation" constitutes, in effect, a motion for shock probation. Accordingly, the trial court's denial of that motion is not reviewable on appeal. State v. Coffman (2001),
Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is Affirmed.
The trial court overruled Kelly's motion. From the denial of his motion, Kelly appeals.
THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS IMPROPERLY OVERRULED APPELLANTS APPLICATION FOR ENLARGEMENT ON PROBATION BY FAILING TO REVIEW AND CONSIDER THE NEGOTIATED PLEA AGREEMENT WHICH HAD BEEN BREACHED BY THE STATE OF OHIO.
A. THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS HAS THE BROAD DISCRETION TO BRANT [SIC] PROBATION PURSUANT R.C. 2951.01.1.
R.C.
The Ohio Supreme Court has recently held that a trial court's denial of a motion for shock probation pursuant to former R.C.
Kelly's First Assignment of Error is overruled.
THE TRIAL COURT FAILED TO CONSIDER DEFENDANT'S FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS OF BEING SUBJECTED TO EX POST FACTO LAW BY THE STATE OF OHIO IN THE PERSON OF THE OHIO ADULT PAROLE BOARD/AUTHORITY WHO ENHANCED THE QUANTUM AMOUNT OF PUNISHMENT ORDERED TO DEFENDANT WHICH WAS A MANIFEST MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.
For the reasons set forth in Part II, above, based upon the authority of State v. Coffman, supra, we are without jurisdiction to review the propriety of the trial court's denial of Kelly's application for enlargement on probation. Furthermore, in this assignment of error, Kelly is arguing that the Ohio Adult Parole Authority has improperly deemed him to have committed the offenses with which he was originally charged, rather than the offense to which he pled guilty, for purposes of considering whether to parole him. That claim is not cognizable in a proceeding in the prisoner's original criminal cause of action. To the contrary, it is cognizable in an action against the Ohio Adult Parole Authority and the Montgomery County Prosecutor. See, State v. Young (August 18, 2000), Greene App. No. 2000-CA-26, unreported; and Randolph v. Ohio Adult Parole Authority (January 21, 2000), Miami App. No. 99-CA-17, unreported.
Kelly's Second Assignment of Error is overruled.
