State v. Miller, Unpublished Decision (7-24-2002)
Opinion of the Court
This cause was heard upon the record in the trial court. Each error assigned has been reviewed and the following disposition is made: Defendant, Raymond Anthony Miller, appeals from the judgment of the Lorain County Court of Common Pleas that denied his motion to vacate payment of fines. We affirm.
On August 5, 1998, the Lorain County Grand Jury indicted Defendant on six separate counts: (1) two counts of burglary, in violation of R.C.
"The trial court erroneously denied [Defendant's] motion to vacate mandatory fine [sic.] after finding him indigent[.]"
In his sole assignment of error, Defendant avers that the trial court found him to be indigent and, therefore, erred in denying his motion to vacate mandatory fines. We disagree.
Upon a review of the record, we find that the trial court did not impose mandatory fines. Therefore, we decline to address Defendant's assignment of error, as it is moot. See Deluca v. Aurora (2001),
Defendant's sole assignment of error is overruled. The judgment of the Lorain County Court of Common Pleas is affirmed.
The Court finds that there were reasonable grounds for this appeal.
We order that a special mandate issue out of this Court, directing the Court of Common Pleas, County of Lorain, State of Ohio, to carry this judgment into execution. A certified copy of this journal entry shall constitute the mandate, pursuant to App.R. 27.
Immediately upon the filing hereof, this document shall constitute the journal entry of judgment, and it shall be file stamped by the Clerk of the Court of Appeals at which time the period for review shall begin to run.
