Syllabus

Application to seal a conviction; R.C. 2953.32; applicant's burden; sufficient evidence or testimony by applicant; abuse of discretion. The trial court did not abuse its discretion when it denied defendant-appellant's application to seal his record of convictions pursuant to R.C. 2953.32. Although the trial court summarily denied the defendant-appellant's application, the defendant-appellant failed to introduce evidence or testimony at the sealing hearing — except for his attorney's comments — upon which the trial court could have determined whether his application met the requirements of R.C. 2953.32.
