Syllabus

Effective assistance of counsel; knowing and voluntary plea; plea colloquy; mental-health-court docket; postsentence motion to withdraw guilty plea; manifest injustice; Crim.R. 11(C); Cuyahoga C.P., Gen.Div., Loc.R. 30.1; Crim.R. 32.1. Affirmed. The trial court did not err when it denied appellant's postsentence motion to withdraw his guilty plea because appellant did not establish a manifest injustice. Defense counsel's assistance was not ineffective when defense counsel did not request a transfer to the mental-health-court docket because appellant did not establish that he qualified for the specialized docket, that the trial court would have applied for a transfer, or that the administrative judge would have granted a request for a transfer.
