“On December 30, 2002, appellant filed a motion pursuant to App.R. 25(A) and asked us to certify a conflict between our decision in the case sub judiee and the decision in [State v.] Lehman [(Feb. 4, 2000), Lucas App. No. L-99-1140, 2000 WL 125795], Appellant’s motion is well taken. We find these two cases are in conflict and that conflict is on the question of whether a trial court may impose consecutive six-month sentences under R.C. 2929.16(A)(1) for multiple offenses.”
