• 2019 Ohio 4483

Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing appellant's petition for post-conviction relief without holding an evidentiary hearing. An evidentiary hearing was not warranted because the petition failed to set forth substantive grounds for relief, as the petition was based solely on broad, conclusory allegations with no supporting affidavits or evidence. Judgment affirmed.
