Syllabus

Judgments convicting appellant for failure to control a dog in violation of R.C. 955.22(C) and affirming a dangerous dog designation affirmed. A deputy warden employed by the Franklin County Department of Animal Care and Control had statutory authority to designate the dog as dangerous because it caused injury to a person without provocation. Although forty days passed between appellant's first appearance and trial, his right to a speedy trial was not violated because thirteen days were tolled for the state to respond to appellant's discovery requests. Appellant failed to establish a Brady violation. There was sufficient evidence to support the conviction and dangerous dog designation. Appellant forfeited his claim of judicial bias on appeal because he failed to file an affidavit of disqualification.
