Syllabus

Appellant's sentence is contrary to law where the record does not support a finding that the trial court's statement in its sentencing entry that \pursuant to R.C. 2929.13(B) it is presumed that a prison term is necessary in order to comply with the purposes and principles of sentencing under R.C. 2929.11\ is merely a clerical error. Concur in judgment only. Failure to properly impose consecutive sentences warrants remand for de novo resentencing. Judgment entry's incorrect reference to presumptive prison term was not reversible error under R.C. 2953.08(G)(2).
