JOURNAL ENTRY AND OPINION
{¶ 1} We decline to address the merits of this appeal, and instead, dismiss the matter for lack of a final, appealable order. "Crim. R. 32(C) imposes a mandatory duty upon a trial court to set forth the plea, the verdict or findings, and the sentence for each and every criminal charge prosecuted." State v. Cooper, Cuyahoga App. No. 84716, 2005-Ohio-1020; see, also, State v. Brown (1989), 59 Ohio App.3d 1, 2, 569 N.E.2d 1068; State v. Hicks, Cuyahoga App. No. 84418, 2004-Ohio-6113. In this case, the trial court's journal entry, dated July 7, 2008, ordered that appellant serve a blanket sentence of five years imprisonment for four separate convictions. The trial court's order failed to impose a separate sentence for each and every convicted offense. Thus, the order violates Crim. R. 32(C), thereby rendering the resultant order non-final and not immediately reviewable. See Cooper, supra. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
Appeal dismissed.
It is ordered that appellee recover from appellant its costs herein taxed.
It is ordered that a special mandate issue out of this Court directing the Court of Common Pleas to carry this judgment into execution.
A certified copy of this entry shall constitute the mandate pursuant to Rule 27 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
KENNETH A. ROCCO, P.J., and FRANK D. CELEBREZZE, JR., J., CONCUR.
