Syllabus

Appellant was not prejudiced by the trial court's failure to advise him of its ability under R.C. 2929.141 to terminate post-release control and impose a consecutive prison sentence. Significantly, a consecutive term was not imposed. With the exception of the trial court's failure to inform appellant of its ability under R.C. 2929.141 to terminate post-release control and impose a consecutive prison sentence, we find that the trial court substantially complied with Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(a) when it accepted his no contest pleas, found him guilty, and sentenced him to the agreed upon prison term of five years with no additional term for violating his post-release control stemming from a prior conviction. Furthermore, the trial court complied with Crim.R.11 by informing appellant of post-release control once he is released from prison for the instant offenses. Judgment affirmed.
