Syllabus

COMMUNITY-CONTROL REVOCATION; FELONY SENTENCING; R.C. 2953.08(G)(2); R.C. 2929.14(B)(4); CRIM.R. 32(A)(1); RIGHT TO ALLOCUTION. The defendant-appellant's sentence is not contrary to law because the trial court complied with the requirements of R.C. 2929.19(B)(4) and Crim.R. 32(A)(1). The trial court properly advised the defendant-appellant of the maximum prison sentence that could be imposed if he violated his community-control sanctions but imposed a lesser term. The trial court did not violate the defendant-appellant's right to allocution by denying him the opportunity to respond to additional statements made by the trial court at sentencing because no new information was presented.
