Syllabus

Sulek. Trial court did not unlawfully violate its promise to sentence Thieman to a maximum of 60 months in prison, because it: 1) informed Thieman that the reason for not upholding its promise was Thieman's failure to participate in the PSI; and 2) allowed Thieman the opportunity to withdraw his plea. Trial counsel was not ineffective -- specific performance was not a remedy to which Thieman was entitled and, further, there is nothing to suggest that but for trial counsel's agreement to proceed to sentencing the outcome of the proceedings would have been different.
