Syllabus

Appellant contends that she received ineffective assistance of counsel because her attorney did not inform her that upon her guilty pleas, she forfeited her right to appeal the trial court's motion to suppress decision. Because the appellate record does not include the discussions between appellant and counsel concerning the guilty plea and the record is otherwise silent on the issue, a finding of ineffective assistance of counsel is not possible. Judgment affirmed.
