Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in overruling appellant's post-sentence motion to withdraw his guilty plea. The record indicates that there was an undue delay in filing the motion and that appellant failed to establish a manifest injustice warranting the withdrawal of his guilty plea. Appellant's argument that his sentence is void is outside the scope of this appeal and otherwise lacks merit, as the trial court sentenced appellant as required by law. The ineffective assistance of counsel claims that appellant raises on appeal also lack merit and were improperly raised for the first time on appeal. Judgment affirmed. (Froelich, J., concurring.)
