THE STATE EX REL. BEVINS, APPELLANT, v. JOHNSON, WARDEN, APPELLEE.
No. 2012-0586
Supreme Court of Ohio
Submitted August 22, 2012—Decided September 5, 2012.
133 Ohio St.3d 80, 2012-Ohio-3922
Brannon & Associates, Dwight D. Brannon, and David D. Brannon, for appellant. Gary Nasal, Miami County Prosecuting Attorney, and Eugene P. Nevada, Special Counsel, for appellees. Andrew Bevins Jr., pro se. Michael DeWine, Attorney General, and Hilda Rosenberg, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the petition of appellant, Andrew Bevins Jr., for a writ of habeas corpus. Bevins’s claims are not cognizable in habeas corpus. Boles v. Knab, 130 Ohio St.3d 339, 2011-Ohio-5049, 958 N.E.2d 554, ¶ 1 (speedy trial); Thomas v. Huffman, 84 Ohio St.3d 266, 267, 703 N.E.2d 315 (1998) (equal protection); Bellman v. Jago, 38 Ohio St.3d 55, 55–56, 526 N.E.2d 308 (1988) (due process). Bevins had an adequate remedy by appeal to raise his claims.
Judgment affirmed.
O’CONNOR, C.J., and PFEIFER, LUNDBERG STRATTON, O’DONNELL, LANZINGER, CUPP, and MCGEE BROWN, JJ., concur.
