Syllabus

The trial court did not err in excluding appellant from a child's witness competency hearing the witness was presumed to be competent, no request to be present was made by appellant, and appellant's counsel, who was present at the hearing, did not object to appellant's absence. Appellant's numerous claims of ineffective assistance of counsel are meritless and therefore, when considered together, do not demonstrate cumulative error. There was no error in sentencing appellant under the Reagan Tokes Act. Judgment affirmed
