Syllabus

RECORD SEALING — EXPUNGEMENT — R.C. 2953.32: Where the trial court concluded that all the factors under R.C. 2953.32(C) were met in support of granting defendant's applications for record sealing and where the same factors apply when determining whether to grant defendant's applications for expungement, the trial abused its discretion by denying defendant's applications for expungement. [See CONCURRENCE: Where an applicant contemporaneously requests to seal and expunge a record of conviction, a trial court is not required to grant both, however, where the record supports both sealing and expungement, a trial court abuses its discretion in denying an expungement over sealing.]
