State v. Thompson, Unpublished Decision (12-12-2002)
Opinion of the Court
{¶ 2} Appellant urges that the common pleas court erred when it dismissed his petition for post conviction relief. The petition alleged that appellant was denied the effective assistance of counsel because his attorney did not move to dismiss the charges against him for failure to provide a speedy trial. The only evidence attached to the petition was a copy of the transcript from a community control violation hearing held on October 23, 2000 in another case against appellant, and a copy of the docket from that case.
Appellant failed to meet his "`initial burden to submit evidentiary documents containing sufficient operative facts to demonstrate the lack of competent counsel and that the defense was prejudiced by counsel's ineffectiveness.'" State v. Calhoun (1999),
Affirmed.
It is ordered that appellee recover of appellant its 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 common pleas court to carry this judgment into execution.
A certified copy of this entry shall constitute the mandate pursuant to Rule 27 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
