Syllabus

Guilty plea, ineffective assistance of counsel mental health evaluation consecutive sentences. Appellant claims, for the first time on appeal and without offering any evidence from the record in support, that his trial counsel's performance was deficient in failing to request a psychiatric evaluation for sanity and failing to request evaluation for mental health docket eligibility. The claim is without merit because there is no indication in the record to show that such a mental health evaluation was warranted. Regarding appellant's consecutive sentences, our review shows the trial court made the requisite statutory findings and the findings are supported by the record.
