Syllabus

The 36-month prison sentence imposed for appellant's third-degree-felony robbery offense is not contrary to law because the sentence is within the authorized statutory range and the trial court properly considered the purposes and principles of sentencing in R.C. 2929.11 and the sentencing factors in R.C. 2929.12. Since appellant's lawful sentence is not clearly and convincingly unsupported by the record, it is not subject to modification by this court. In addition to imposing a proper sentence, the trial court also did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant's motion to appoint new trial counsel. Judgment affirmed.
