COUNSEL – PROCEDURE/RULES – CONTINUANCE – R.C. 2917.11(A)(4) – EVIDENCE: The trial court did not err in refusing to grant defendant a continuance where defendant previously had had two attorneys and four continuances and another continuance would not have accomplished defendant's stated purpose of obtaining additional discovery. Defendant's conviction for disorderly conduct by hindering or preventing the movement of persons on a public right-of-way, in violation of R.C. 2917.11(A)(4), was based on sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the evidence showed that defendant was lying on the sidewalk in front of a dance studio, he twice refused to move after being asked to do so, and a child had to step off of the curb and into the street to avoid defendant.
