Syllabus

Fourth-degree felony prison sentence R.C. 2953.08(G)(2) finding R.C. 2929.13(B)(1)(b) firearm R.C. 2953.08(A)(2). Appellant's appeal is dismissed because the trial court adopted a finding pursuant to R.C. 2929.13(B)(1)(b)(i), that appellant had a firearm when he committed the offense of improperly handling a firearm in a motor vehicle, and within its discretion imposed a prison term. Pursuant to R.C. 2953.08(A)(2), appellant was therefore required to seek leave to appeal his prison sentence. Having failed to seek leave, we cannot review his sentence and his appeal is dismissed.
