Syllabus

Appellant stipulated to a prior conviction for domestic battery under Ind.Code 35-42-2-1.3, which was used to enhance his domestic violence charge to a third-degree felony. Under a plain error review, there was no error in using the prior conviction because the Indiana statute and R.C. 2919.25(A) are substantially equivalent. Appellant's conviction was also not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Judgment affirmed.
