Syllabus

The trial court did not err in denying appellant's application to seal his misdemeanor conviction for violating a protection order. Ohio's record-sealing process did not apply to that offense, which was ineligible to be sealed. Appellant's misdemeanor offense for criminal trespass also could not be sealed because the trial court never imposed a sentence after making a finding of guilt. In addition, the existence of the protection-order violation conviction precluded sealing of the criminal-trespass offense. Judgment affirmed.
