Syllabus

KNOWING, INTELLIGENT, AND VOLUNTARY PLEAS; PLAIN-ERROR DOCTRINE; COURT-APPOINTED-COUNSEL FEES. The defendant-appellant's guilty pleas were knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. Because the defendant-appellant failed to raise the issue of allied offenses of similar import in the trial court, we review solely for plain error. The specific facts and circumstances of this case are not exceptional to warrant intervention under the plain-error doctrine. The trial court erred by imposing court-appointed-counsel fees as part of the defendant-appellant's sentence. We vacate that portion of the judgment entry of sentencing imposing court-appointed-counsel fees.
