CitationBlackburn v. Jago, 39 Ohio St.3d 139, 529 N.E.2d 929 (Ohio 1988)
PartiesBLACKBURN v. JAGO, Supt., London Correctional Institute.
CourtOhio Supreme Court

Bruce Robert Blackburn, pro se.

PER CURIAM.

Habeas corpus is not a proper remedy for reviewing errors of sentencing by a court of competent jurisdiction. Walker v. Maxwell (1965), 1 Ohio St.2d 136, 30 O.O.2d 487, 205 N.E.2d 394. Appeal or postconviction relief would be the proper remedy. Since it appears from the face of his petition that petitioner has sought and been denied postconviction relief on this issue, the matter is res judicata. See Anderson v. Maxwell (1967), 10 Ohio St.2d 188, 39 O.O.2d 196, 226 N.E.2d 103. Accordingly, the writ is denied.

WRIT DENIED.

MOYER, C.J., and SWEENEY, LOCHER, HOLMES, DOUGLAS, WRIGHT and HERBERT R. BROWN, JJ., concur.
