Syllabus

App.R. 26(B), court costs, transcript, frivolous proposed assignment of error. The appellant has raised one proposed assignment of error in support of his App.R. 26(B) application for reopening, which is premised upon the allegation that the trial court did not impose court costs during the sentencing hearing. The appellant argues that he was prejudiced because the trial court imposed court costs in the sentencing journal entry, without addressing the issue of court costs during the sentencing hearing. The transcript of the sentencing hearing, however, demonstrates that the trial court did impose court costs during the sentencing hearing. The appellant has failed to demonstrate prejudicial error, because appellate counsel was not required to raise a frivolous proposed assignment of error on appeal.
