Syllabus

Supplemental Discovery; Motion to Compel Discovery; Motion to Quash Subpoena; Crim.R.17(C); Motion to Continue; Motion in Limine; Waiver; No Contest Plea. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by partially granting the State's motion to quash the defendant-appellant's subpoenas because he failed to satisfy the requirements for their issuance. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying defendant-appellant's supplementary discovery request and motion to compel because his claims were speculative and he failed to demonstrate that the evidence was material. Based on the determination that the defendant-appellant was not entitled to the supplemental discovery, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying the motion to continue trial. The defendant-appellant waived his right to appeal the trial court's decision on his motion in limine regarding other-acts evidence by entering a no contest plea.
