Syllabus

NO-CONTEST PLEAS — CRIM.R. 11(C)(2)(B) — MOTION TO DISMISS — SECOND AMENDMENT —WITHDRAWAL: The trial court did not err by accepting defendant's no-contest pleas where defendant expressly tendered his no-contest pleas in a writing, changing his pleas from not guilty to no contest, and did not orally tender his no-contest pleas. Although the trial court did not fully comply with Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(b)'s requirement to inform defendant of the effect of his no-contest pleas, the court did not completely fail to comply, requiring defendant to establish prejudice, and defendant failed to allege or demonstrate that he would not have entered the pleas, but for the court's failure to explain the effect of the pleas. Defendant withdrew or abandoned his motion to dismiss the charges for violating his Second Amendment right to bear arms by failing to argue it below, and by withdrawing the motion, defendant waived the issue for appeal.
