Syllabus

App.R. 26(B) application for reopening timely filed, performance of appellate counsel, conduct of appellate counsel resulted in prejudice that would have resulted in a different outcome on appeal, plea of guilt, waiver of claimed errors. A plea of guilty waives an appellant's right to challenge on appeal his or her conviction on all potential issues except for jurisdictional issues and the claim that ineffective assistance of counsel caused the guilty plea to be less than knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. Because appellant's plea was knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily made, the claimed errors raised in the application for reopening, which are not based upon any jurisdictional defects, are waived and no prejudice can be demonstrated by the appellant based upon appellate representation on appeal.
