PER CURIAM:
     Defendant-appellant Frank Zemla  appeals from the  trial court
order which denied  his motions  to vacate plea  and/or reduce  his
sentence.  Appellant  contends the  trial court erred  both in  its
ruling and in its failure to hold an oral hearing on his motions.
     The decision of the  trial court is affirmed on  the authority
of the following:  State v. Smith  (1977), 49 Ohio St.2d 261; State
v. Peterseim (1980), 68 Ohio App.2d  211; State v. Blatnick (1984),
17 Ohio  App.3d 201; and  State v. Hall  (Apr. 23, 1992),  Cuyahoga
App. Nos. 59798 and 60953, unreported.
     The record reveals that at  appellant's plea hearing the trial
court substantially complied with the requirements of Crim.R. 11(C)
and that appellant was fully aware  of the consequences of his plea
and the  terms of  his advantageous  plea bargain.   Moreover,  the
trial  court  stated  in  its  order  that  it  had  "reviewed  the
transcript"  with  reference to  the  applicable case  law.   Thus,
appellant cannot demonstrate either manifest  injustice or that the
trial court abused its discretion in overruling his motions.
     Accordingly, appellant's assignments of error are overruled.
     The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
                                -3-
     It is  ordered that  appellee recover  of appellant its  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 remanded  to the  trial
court for execution of sentence.    
     A certified  copy of this  entry shall constitute  the mandate
pursuant to Rule 27 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
