HALL, J.
{¶ 1} Nathaniel Lumpkin appeals from his conviction and sentence on one count of breaking and entering.
{¶ 2} In his sole assignment of error, Lumpkin contends the trial court erred in 2
failing to notify him about post-release control at sentencing. This court raised the foregoing issue in a December 3, 2012 decision and entry when we were reviewing the case after the filing of a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). In that ruling, we explained: Despite the trial court’s statement in the judgment entry that it notified Lumpkin about post-release control, such notification does not appear in the sentencing transcript or elsewhere in the record. Therefore, a non-frivolous issue exists as to whether the trial court erred in failing to notify Lumpkin about post-release control at sentencing. See, e.g., State v. Qualls, 131 Ohio St.3d 499, 504, 2012-Ohio-1111, 967 N.E.2d 718, ¶18 (recognizing that “a trial court must provide statutorily compliant notification to a defendant regarding postrelease control at the time of sentencing, including notifying the defendant of the details of the postrelease control and the consequences of violating postrelease control”).
{¶ 3} We subsequently appointed new counsel for Lumpkin, who now raises as a sole assignment of error that the trial court erred in including post-release control in the judgment entry but not mentioning it at sentencing. For its part, the State concedes that the trial court’s failure to address post-release control at sentencing constitutes reversible error.
See, e.g., State v. Blessing, 2d Dist. Clark No. 2011 CA 56, 2013-Ohio-392, ¶41. Accordingly, Lumpkin’s sole assignment of error is sustained.
{¶ 4} The portion of the trial court’s judgment entry imposing post-release control is reversed, and the cause is remanded for proper imposition of post-release control. In all other 3
respects, the trial court’s judgment is affirmed.
