No. 2010-0792

Supreme Court of Ohio

Submitted September 15, 2010—Decided September 22, 2010

126 Ohio St.3d 481, 2010-Ohio-4388

[Cite as State ex rel. Cunningham v. Lindeman, 126 Ohio St.3d 481, 2010-Ohio-4388.]

Per Curiam.

{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the claim of appellant, Willie Cunningham, for a writ of mandamus or procedendo to compel appellee, Miami County Court of Common Pleas Judge Robert J. Lindeman, to issue a new sentencing entry in Cunningham‘s criminal case to comply with Crim.R. 32(C). Cunningham‘s sentencing entry fully complied with Crim.R. 32(C), as construed in State v. Baker, 119 Ohio St.3d 197, 2008-Ohio-3330, 893 N.E.2d 163, syllabus, by including the finding of the court upon which his conviction is based, the sentence, the signature of the judge, and the time-stamp journalization by the clerk of court. State ex rel. Pruitt v. Cuyahoga Cty. Court of Common Pleas, 125 Ohio St.3d 402, 2010-Ohio-1808, 928 N.E.2d 722, ¶ 3. The entry specified that Cunningham was tried and was found guilty by the court and that the court imposed no additional major-drug-offender term. Consequently, Cunningham had an adequate remedy by appeal to raise the claimed sentencing errors. State ex rel. Cotton v. Russo, 125 Ohio St.3d 449, 2010-Ohio-2111, 928 N.E.2d 1092, ¶ 1.

Judgment affirmed.
