Motion for leave to appeal App.R. 5 R.C. 2945.67 record on appeal App.R. 9 Civ.R. 5(E) Bistricky appeal serious youthful offender dispositional sentence SYO sentence R.C. 2152.13 R.C. 2152.021(A) written notice oral notice R.C. 2151.28 Juv.R. 29 Juv.R. 30 procedural substantive abuse of discretion motion for continuance blanket policy. A juvenile court does not have to wait 20 days following its amenability determination to give the state time to file a notice of intent to seek an SYO sentence when the juvenile seeks to enter admissions to the complaint. However, the juvenile court erred to the extent that it applies a blanket policy when deciding the state's motion for a continuance to give the state time to file a notice of intent to seek an SYO sentence after the court orally announced its amenability determination. The court must weigh the competing interests and exercise its discretion when deciding such a motion.
