ANN DYKE, J.:
Defendant-appellant, David Zion Shie ("appellant"), appeals the trial
court's denial of his motion to withdraw his guilty plea and his motion to enforce
a plea contract. For the following reasons, we affirm.
On Apri16, 2005, appellant pled guilty to four amended counts of sexual
battery and agreed to be classified as a sexual predator. On April 27, 2005, the
trial court sentenced appellantto four years imprisonment on each of the counts,
to be served consecutively, for a total of sixteen years imprisonment. On May 11,
2006, this coiut affirmed appellant's convictions in State u. Shie, CuyahogaApp.
No. 86464, 2006-Ohio-2314, but remanded the matter to the trial court for
resentencing. Id., appeal not allowed by 111 Ohio St.3d 1416, 2006-Ohio-5083,
854 N.E.2d 1994.
On August 9, 2006, the trial court resentenced appellant per the directives
of this court, imposing the same 16 year prison sentence as before. Appellant
was also reclassified as a sexual predator. We affirmed appellant's sentences in
State v. Shie, Cuyahoga App. No. 88677, 2007-Ohio-3773, appeal not allowed by
116 Ohio St.3d 1440, 2007-Ohio-6518, 877 N.E.2d 991.
Subsequently, the Ohio legislature enacted Senate Bill 10, which
implemented the federal Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006
E1 9
-2-
("AWA").' The new law went into effect in Ohio on January 1, 2008.
Accordingly, appellant, who had previously been classified as a sexual predator
under H.B. 180, Ohio Megan's Law (former R.C. Chapter 2950), was then re-
classified as a Tier III offender under S.B. 10.2
In light of the new classification and the registration and. notification
requirements associated with that classification, appellant filed a motion to
withdraw his guilty plea on September 24, 2008. Additionally, on October 30,
2008, appellant filed a motion to enforce a plea contract. The trial court denied
both motions on January 28, 2009. Appellant now appeals and presents the
following assignment of error for our review:
"The Trial Court abused its discretion by unreasonably denying
Appellant's motions to withdraw guilty plea and enforce plea contract based on
a decision clearly and convincingly contrary to law."
Here, appellant argues that the state of Ohio breached its plea agreement
with him when the AWA imposed new obligations and terms previously not
agreed to with regard to his sexual predator classification. For the following
reasons, we find appellant's argument without merit.
' 42 U.S.C. § 16901 (2006).
2 Hereinafter, for purposes of this appeal, the AWA and S.B. 10 will be usedinterchangeably throughout this opinion.
I;i„ c: `) 3 7^+^i i 9 0
-3-
First, we agree with the trial court that it lacked jurisdiction to entertain
appellant's motions, although we reach this conclusion for a different reason. A
trial court does not have jurisdiction to consider a motion to withdraw a guilty
plea once the conviction has been affirmed on appeal. State ex rel. Special
Prosecutors v. Judges, Costrt of Common Pleas (1978), 55 Ohio St.2d 94, 97-98,
378 N.E.2d 162. The general rule is that a trial court loses its jurisdiction when
the appeal is taken, and, absent a remand, it cannot regain jurisdiction
subsequent to the court of appeals' decision. Id. at 97. The Supreme Court of
Ohio explained:
"While Crim.R. 32.1 apparently enlarges the power of the trial court over
its judgments without respect to the running of the court term, it does not confer
upon the trial court the power to vacate a judgment which has been affirmed. by
the appellate court, for this action would affect the decision of the reviewing
court, which is not within the power of the trial court to do." Id. at 98.
Even if the trial court had jurisdiction to entertain the motions, we would
nevertheless reject appellant's argument that the application of the AWA
breaches his plea agreement. There is no dispute that plea agreements are
contracts between the state and criminal defendants. Santobello v. New York
(1971), 404 U. S. 257, 262, 92 S. Ct. 495, 30 L.Ed.2d 427. "Accordingly, if one side
breaches the agreement, the other side is entitled to either rescission or specific
"L. ^ C 3 r'u.:1 1 ^ I
-5-
performance of the plea agreement." State v. Walker, Lucas App. No. L-05-1207,
2006-Ohio-2929, at ^ 13, citing Sa,ntobello, supra. In this case, however, the plea
agreement between appellant and the state had already been performed by each
party at the time of the enactment of the AWA. Ohio courts have previously
determined that once a defendant enters his guilty plea and the trial court
imposes a sentence, a breach of contract can no longer occur because both sides
have fully performed their respective parts under the contract. Ball U. State,
Lake App. No. 2008-L-053, 2009-Ohio-4099. See, also, State u. Pointer,
CuyahogaApp. No. 85195, 2005-Ohio-3587; Slagle v. Sta.te,145 Ohio Misc.2d 98,
114-115, 2008-Ohio-593, 884 N.E.2d 109. The court in Ball, supra, explained
with the following:
"Because the registration and notification requirements of the new law,
just as in former R.C. Chapter 2950, are merely remedial conditions imposed
upon offenders after their release from prison and not additional punisbment,
they do not affect any plea agreement previously entered into between the
offender and the state." Ball, supra.
Moreover, we note that any alleged agreement would be unenforceable
because neither the state prosecutors, nor the judiciary, possess the authority
to enter into any agreement that would abrogate the right of the state legislature
to revise the classification scheme. In Gi,ldersl,eeve v. State, Cuyahoga App. Nos.
^^^ , ?`,'' p i^.) i 9 2
-6-
91515, 91519, 91521, 91532, 2009-Ohio-2031, we provided that:
"ln fact, `the classification of sex offenders into categories has always been
a legislative mandate, not an inherent power of the courts. Without the
legislature's creation of sex offender classifications, no such classification would
be warranted. Therefore, * * * we cannot find the sex offender classification is
anything other than a creation of the legislature, and therefore, the power to
classify is properly expanded or limited by the legislature."' Id., quoting In re
Smith, 3d Dist. No. 1-07-58, 2008-Ohio-3234, appeal not allowed by 120 Ohio
St.3d 1416, 2008-Ohio-61.66, 897 N.E.2d 652.
Finally, with respect to the issue of breach of contract, we recognize that
our decision conforms with that of this court's in Gildersleeve, supra, albeit for
different reasons. Consequently, we affirm the trial court's denial of appellant's
motion to withdraw his guilty plea and motion to enforce plea contract.
Appellant's sole assignment of error is overruled.
Judgment affirmed.
It is ordered that appellee recover from. appellant costs herein taxed.
The court finds there were reasonable grounds for this appeal.
It is ordered that a special mandate issue out of this court directing the
common pleas court to carry this judgment into execution. The defendant's
conviction having been affirmed, any bail pending appeal is terminated. Case
u :. I 33

remanded to the trial court for execution of sentence.
A certified copy of this entry shall constitute the mandate pursuant to
