Syllabus

On appeal from a criminal sentence, imposed pursuant to a guilty plea, that included a non-mandatory two-year prison term for felonious assault and a mandatory one-year prison term for a firearm specification attached to the felonious-assault offense. Because the felonious assault offense had an attendant firearm specification, a prison term was required by R.C. 2929.13(F)(8) as interpreted in State v. Logan, 2025-Ohio-1772. Because the prison term was required by R.C. 2929.13(F)(8), it was a \mandatory prison term\ as defined in R.C. 2929.01(X). The trial court erred in designating the two-year prison term for felonious assault as non-mandatory. Judgment reversed and cause remanded.
