THE STATE OF OHIO, APPELLEE,
v.
CARTER, APPELLANT

No. 01-977.

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Submitted September 18, 2001.

Decided November 14, 2001.


Michael K. Allen, Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney, and Ronald W. Springman, Jr., Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellee.

Keith A. Yeazel, for appellant.

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Cedric Carter, was convicted of the aggravated murder of Frances Messinger, and sentenced to death. The court of appeals affirmed his convictions and sentence. State v. Carter (Nov. 3, 1993), Hamilton App. No. C-920604, unreported, 1993 WL 512859. We also affirmed Carter's convictions and death sentence. State v. Carter (1995), 72 Ohio St.3d 545, 651 N.E.2d 965, certiorari denied (1995), 516 U.S. 1014, 116 S.Ct. 575, 133 L.Ed.2d 498.

Subsequently, the court of appeals affirmed the trial court's decision to deny Carter's petition for postconviction relief. State v. Carter (Nov. 14, 1997), Hamilton App. No. C-960718, unreported, 1997 WL 705487. We refused to accept Carter's appeal of that decision. State v. Carter (1998), 81 Ohio St.3d 1467, 690 N.E.2d 1287.

On June 9, 1999, Carter filed an application with the court of appeals to reopen his initial appeal pursuant to App.R. 26(B) and State v. Murnahan (1992), 63 Ohio St.3d 60, 584 N.E.2d 1204, alleging ineffective assistance of his appellate counsel before the court of appeals in his first appeal. However, the court of appeals

93 Ohio St.3d 582
denied Carter's application because he had failed to show good cause for the delay in applying to reopen his appeal. State v. Carter (Oct. 21, 1999), Hamilton App. No. C-920604, unreported. Carter did not appeal that decision; hence, that decision became final

On July 19, 2000, Carter requested that the court of appeals appoint counsel for him to prepare and file an application to reopen his direct appeal pursuant to App.R. 26(B). The court of appeals denied Carter's motion. State v. Carter (Aug. 10, 2000), Hamilton App. No. C-920604, unreported.

On September 28, 2000, Carter's present counsel filed a second application to reopen his initial appeal pursuant to App.R. 26(B) and State v. Murnahan. The court of appeals denied Carter's motion to reopen his direct appeal on the basis that App.R. 26(B) "makes no provision for filing successive applications to reopen." State v. Carter (Apr. 9, 2001), Hamilton App. No. C-920604, unreported. The cause is now before this court upon an appeal as of right.

Carter raises five issues in this appeal. In...
