Syllabus

Expungement; seal; eligible; former R.C. 2953.32; de novo; felony conviction; fifth-degree felony; fourth-degree felony; third-degree felony. Vacated the trial court's denial of appellant's motion for expungement and remanded the matter to the trial court for a hearing to determine whether T.T. has been rehabilitated to the satisfaction of the court. The trial court erred in finding appellant is not an eligible offender for expungement in this case when the plain and unambiguous language of former R.C. 2953.32 does not exclude fourth- or fifth-degree felony convictions from expungement eligibility based on the existence of a third-degree felony conviction in a different case.
