Did Attorney's Failure to Provide Record to Appellate Court Require Reopening Appeal?
State of Ohio v. Clarence Leyh, Case No. 2020-0819
Ninth District Court of Appeals (Summit County)

ISSUE: To ensure that a person convicted of a felony offense has a meaningful right to an appeal, must a court of appeals reopen the appeal when one or more "colorable" issues are identified and the prior appellate counsel failed to ensure that a complete record, including all relevant transcripts, was made available to the appeals court for review?
