Syllabus

App.R. 26(B) ineffective assistance of appellate counsel postrelease control fabricated evidence. Appellant's application to reopen direct appeal fails on the merits because appellant failed to demonstrate a genuine issue that he was deprived effective assistance of appellate counsel. Trial court properly notified appellant that he was subject to a mandatory five-year period of postrelease control trial court had no obligation to impose shorter terms for the remaining offenses. Record also did not support appellant's claim that the prosecutor \fabricated\ evidence and therefore appellate counsel properly refrained from raising assignments of error related to this issue.
