Syllabus

Moot collateral consequences collateral disability probation violation voluntary sentence real and significant consequences ineffective assistance of counsel. Defendant challenged the effectiveness of counsel during his probation violation hearing where the trial court judge found he had indeed violated the terms of his community control. Before reaching that issue, his appeal was found to be moot because he had already served his sentence and appellant did not offer, nor did the record show, any collateral disability he had incurred as a result of his sentence.
