Syllabus

Pursuant to a plea agreement, Barnes pled guilty to one count of aggravated robbery and agreed to a sentence of between three to five years and restitution, and the State dismissed one count of robbery and one count of burglary. Counsel for Barnes filed a brief pursuant to Anders v California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Counsel's three potential assignments of error, namely whether the trial court complied with Crim.R. 11 in accepting Barnes's guilty plea, whether the trial court erred in not considering R.C. 2929.11 and R.C. 2929.12 at sentencing, and whether Barnes received ineffective assistance of counsel by pleading guilty instead of no contest, lack arguable merit. Judgment affirmed.
