Syllabus

R.C. 2151.356 – JUVENILE – RECORD SEALING – EXPUNGEMENT: The juvenile court did not err when it denied appellant's applications to seal and expunge juvenile records based on a finding of insufficient rehabilitation where the juvenile court found that appellant had already had two misdemeanor convictions in the brief time since reaching adulthood, including a crime of dishonesty, and had not yet earned a high-school diploma. The juvenile court did not err in denying appellant's applications to seal the records of juvenile cases that were bound over to adult court and subsequently dismissed because the court lacked any authority to do so.
