Description

STERN, J. Appellant raises two claims for post-conviction relief. The first claim is that, at the sentencing hearing, neither the court nor appellant's court-appointed attorneys properly informed him that, because he is indigent, if he desired to appeal his case to the Court of Appeals, the court would appoint counsel under R.C. 2941.50(B). Appellant seeks herein to raise this claim upon appeal from the denial of post-conviction relief. In State v. Benton (1971), 27 Ohio St.2d 87, we held that A convicted indigent defendant may not in a post-conviction proceeding, raise contentions that he was not informed of the procedure by which to appeal and of his right to court-appointed counsel for such an appeal. This claim is properly raised by way of motion for leave to appeal in a Court of Appeals (State v. Sims [1971], 27 Ohio St.2d 79,) and is not cognizable in an appeal from a denial of post-conviction relief.
