Syllabus

App.R. 26(B) application to reopen Murnahan ineffective assistance of appellate counsel R.C. 2929.14(B)(1)(b) and (B)(1)(g) consecutive sentences for firearm specifications jail-time credit R.C. 2929.19(B)(2)(f) continuing jurisdiction to correct jail-time credit errors prejudice to appellant and disqualification of retained counsel. The court denied the applicant's App.R. 26(B) application to reopen. Applicant relied on a former and superseded provision of the Revised Code that prohibited consecutive sentences for firearm specifications. The trial court properly imposed sentence pursuant to R.C. 2929.14(B)(1)(g). Applicant suffered no prejudice in trial court's failure to award jail-time credit, because R.C. 2929.19(B)(2)(f) grants the court continuing jurisdiction to correct such errors. The Supreme Court of Ohio determined that the trial court had properly disqualified retained counsel.
