State v. Gipple

Summary

The Ohio Third District Court of Appeals affirmed the denial of Ralph J. Gipple’s motions to revise sentencing entries and apply the aggregate jail-time credit from three cases to each concurrent sentence. The court held that State v. Fugate did not require such application because Gipple was not confined on all three offenses for the full period of claimed credit, and the trial court had properly applied credit to the applicable sentences.

Holdings

1. The denial of a post-sentence motion to correct jail-time credit is reviewed for abuse of discretion.
2. For concurrent sentences, jail-time credit is applied independently to each sentence for the days the offender was confined for the offense corresponding to that sentence; credit from one offense does not automatically apply to a different offense.
3. State v. Fugate does not require application of Gipple's aggregate claimed credit to each concurrent sentence because Gipple was not simultaneously confined on all three offenses for the entire period of credit claimed.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the trial court abused its discretion by denying Gipple's motions to issue revised sentencing entries correcting his jail-time credit.
2. Whether State v. Fugate required the aggregate jail-time credit from all three cases to be applied to each concurrent prison term when Gipple was not confined on all three offenses for the entire period claimed.

Disposition

affirmed
