No. 95-1923

Submitted November 14, 1995 —

Decided February 14, 1996.

APPEAL from the Court of Appeals for Butler County, No. CA94-05-118.

Appellant, Darryl J. Blankenship, was convicted of three counts of having weapons while under disability in violation of R.C. 2923.13, with specifications under R.C. 2929.71. The court of appeals affirmed. State v. Blankenship (1995), 102 Ohio App.3d 534, 657 N.E.2d 559, appeal denied, 73 Ohio St.3d 1426, 652 N.E.2d 799.

In June 1995, appellant filed with the court of appeals an application to reopen his appeal under App.R. 26(B), alleging ineffective assistance of his appellate counsel. The court of appeals denied the application, finding "no genuine issue as to whether appellant was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel on appeal."

Appellant appeals the denial to this court.

John F. Holcomb, Butler County Prosecuting Attorney, and Richard A. Hyde, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellee.

Darryl J. Blankenship, pro se.


We affirm the court of appeals for the reasons stated in its entry.

Judgment affirmed.

MOYER, C.J., DOUGLAS, WRIGHT, RESNICK, F.E. SWEENEY, PFEIFER and COOK, JJ., concur.
