APPEAL from the Court of Appeals for Cuyahoga County, Nos. 61534 and 62190.
Appellant, Danny Dozanti, was convicted of trafficking in drugs. He appealed, and the court of appeals affirmed the conviction. State v. Dozanti (Jan. 14, 1993), Cuyahoga App. Nos. 61534 and 62190, unreported, 1993 WL 7696. He applied to the court of appeals to reopen the appeal from the judgment of conviction pursuant to State v. Murnahan (1992), 63 Ohio St.3d 60, 584 N.E.2d 1204, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel for counsel's failure to object to the admission of evidence concerning ownership of the premises on which the illegal drugs were seized. The court of appeals denied the application on the basis that appellant was not prejudiced by admission of the evidence. Appellant appeals the denial to this court as of right.
