Syllabus

In this appeal, which involves three separate criminal cases, the trial court did not err in sentencing appellant to an additional year in prison pursuant to R.C. 2929.141, based on appellant's violation of post-release control. The court told appellant of the additional sentence during the sentencing hearing and then properly included it in two termination entries. However, the court's subsequent nunc pro tunc entry, eliminating the additional sentence from one judgment entry, was a nullity and had no legal effect. Therefore, appellant's original sentence, including the additional year of incarceration, stands. The judgments are affirmed, but with the proviso that the case in which the nunc pro tunc entry was entered is remanded with an instruction to the trial court to vacate that entry.
