JOHN T. PATTON, P.J.:
     A jury found defendant Amin Dakdouk guilty of sexual imposi-
tion, a third degree misdemeanor.  The court sentenced defendant to
a term of sixty days in jail, but suspended the sentence.  In this
appeal, defendant  argues  the  jury's verdict  was  against  the
manifest weight of the evidence.
     We overrule the assigned  error because we find it is  moot.
When a defendant convicted of a misdemeanor offense has voluntarily
paid the fine or completed the sentence for that offense, an appeal
from that conviction will be considered moot unless some evidence
is offered from which an inference can be drawn that the defendant
will suffer some collateral  disability or loss of a civil  right
from such judgment or conviction.  State v. Golston (1994), 71 Ohio
St. 3d 224.  The defendant has the burden of presenting  evidence
that the conviction, as it affects him personally, rather than in
the abstract, will result in a collateral disability or loss of a
civil right.  State v. Wilson (1975), 41 Ohio St.2d 236, 237.
     When the court suspended defendant's sentence, there remained
no further punishment.  Cf. Cleveland v. Kreager (July 21, 1994),
Cuyahoga App.  No. 65896,  unreported.   This put  the burden  on
defendant to show he suffered some collateral disability or loss of
a civil  right.  This he has not done.  With the absence of  this
showing, we are compelled to overrule the assigned error.
     Judgment affirmed.
     It  is ordered that appellee recover of appellant its  costs
herein taxed.
                               -3-
     A certified copy of  this entry shall constitute the mandate
pursuant to Rule 27 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
