The parties are ordered to brief the issue stated at page 4 of the court of appeals’ entry filed June 23, 2017: “During a plea proceeding, does a trial court’s failure to inform a defendant about the residential restrictions imposed on sex offenders under R.C. Chapter 2950 render the plea invalid?”

It is ordered by the court that the clerk shall issue an order for the transmittal of the record from the court of appeals for Sandusky County.
