Wright, J.

This case presents the question of whether a defendant’s claim that he was denied effective assistance of counsel due to a trial court’s failure to notify the attorney that he had been appointed to represent the defendant on appeal can be brought as a claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel pursuant to the exception to R.C. 2953.21 articulated in State v. Murnahan, supra.
