APPELLATE REVIEW/CRIMINAL—RECORD ON APPEAL: The common pleas court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's petition under R.C. 2953.21 for postconviction relief without an evidentiary hearing: the record on appeal did not include the certified, file-stamped transcripts of the proceedings at his plea and sentencing hearings required by App.R. 9(A)(1) and 9(B) and without those transcripts, the petition, along with its supporting affidavits, other documentary evidence, and the trial record, did not demonstrate substantive grounds for relief.
