ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLEE

Timothy J. McGinty
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor
By: Holly Welsh
Assistant County Prosecutor

Cleveland, Ohio 44113
KATHLEEN ANN KEOUGH, J.:

      {¶1} On June 20, 2013, Joseph Bronczyk filed an application for reopening

pursuant to App.R. 26(B).     Bronczyk is attempting to reopen the appeal that was

dismissed by this court on May 8, 2013.

      App.R. 26(B)(1) provides that

      a defendant in a criminal case may apply for reopening of the appeal
      from the judgment of conviction and sentence, based on a claim of
      ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. An application for reopening
      shall be filed in the court of appeals where the appeal was decided within
      ninety days from journalization of the appellate judgment unless the
      applicant shows good cause for filing at a later time.

(Emphasis added.)

      {¶2} In the case sub judice, no appellate judgment was announced and journalized

by this court that reviewed Bronczyk’s conviction and sentence as rendered in State v.

Bronczyk, Cuyahoga C.P. No. CR-540345.           Thus, this court is prevented from

considering Bronczyk’s application for reopening as made pursuant to App.R. 26(B).

State v. Loomer, 76 Ohio St.3d 398, 1996-Ohio-59, 667 N.E.2d 1209; See also State v.

Halliwell, 8th Dist. No. 70369, 1999 Ohio App. LEXIS 285 (Jan. 28, 1999).

      Accordingly, the application for reopening is denied.
