Syllabus

Former R.C. 2953.32 sealing of record of conviction expungement statutory construction hearing. The version of R.C. 2953.32 that was in effect at the time appellant filed his application is unambiguous and mandates the trial court to hold a hearing on appellant's application to have his record of conviction expunged or sealed. The trial court in this case failed to follow the statute's mandates and erred in summarily denying appellant's application without a hearing.
