Syllabus

We lack jurisdiction to review whether the trial court erred by failing to recuse itself due to alleged judicial bias, and we otherwise find nothing in the record supporting appellant's claim of judicial bias. Because there was no indication of judicial bias, appellant's claim that her trial counsel was ineffective in failing to move for a recusal lacks merit. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by imposing conditions of community control that required appellant to complete a drug and alcohol assessment and a mental health evaluation, as those conditions were reasonably related to the offense and the purposes and principles of misdemeanor sentencing, and they were not overly broad. The trial court's acceptance of appellant's guilty plea without calling for an explanation of circumstances as required by R.C. 2937.07 was harmless error. Judgment affirmed.
