Syllabus

Trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea where appellant could not demonstrate he was prejudiced by defense counsel's failure to advise of potential adverse immigration consequences resulting from his guilty plea. Here, the trial court's statutory advisement under R.C. 2943.031(A) about the possibly adverse immigration consequences appellant faced as a result of his guilty plea matched the level of advisement defense counsel was obligated to provide pursuant to Padilla v. Kentucky, 559 U.S. 356, 130 S.Ct. 1473 (2010), appellant benefited from the plea bargain, there was not a likelihood of a favorable outcome had appellant proceeded to trial, and appellant's motion was not expeditiously filed.
