The State of Ohio, Appellee, v. DePew, Appellant.
    [Cite as State v. DePew (1994), 70 Ohio St.3d 1219.]
    (No. 87-1334
    Submitted August 17, 1994
    Decided November 9, 1994.)
    
      
      John F. Holcomb, Butler County Prosecuting Attorney, and Daniel G. Eichel, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellee.
    
      David H. Bodiker, Ohio Public Defender, Jane P. Perry and Richard J. Vickers, Assistant Public Defenders, for appellant.
   Per Curiam.

We deny the motions. Depew’s 1988 appeal to this court was not a first appeal as of right; therefore, he had no constitutional right to counsel, hence no constitutional right to effective assistance. See State v. Buell (1994), 70 Ohio St.3d 1211, 639 N.E.2d 110.

Motions denied.

Moyer, C.J., A.W. Sweeney, Douglas, Resnick, F.E. Sweeney and Pfeifer, JJ., concur.

Wright, J., dissents.
