Syllabus

No-contest plea; petty offense; Crim.R. 11(E); effect of no-contest plea; motion to withdraw; penalty; community-control sanctions; reasonably related; purposes and principles of misdemeanor sentencing; ineffective assistance of counsel. Trial court properly denied post-sentence motion to withdraw no-contest plea where trial court fully complied with Crim.R. 11(E) and explained the effect of the plea. Community-control sanctions prohibiting defendant from using alcohol or marijuana and prohibiting him from traveling outside the state were not an abuse of discretion. Defendant failed to establish claim of ineffective assistance of counsel where the record showed that the defendant understood every aspect of the plea colloquy and his motion to withdraw his no-contest plea would have been denied.
