Supreme Court of Ohio
August 20, 2009
123 Ohio St.3d 91, 2009-Ohio-4088
Submitted August 11, 2009
Per Curiam.
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals denying the petition of appellant, Kevin Hughley, for a writ of mandamus to compel appellee, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Timothy McMonagle, to resentence him to correct an allegedly improper resentencing order. Hughley “has or had adequate remedies in the ordinary course of law, e.g., appeal and postconviction relief, for review of any alleged sentencing error.” State ex rel. Jaffal v. Calabrese, 105 Ohio St.3d 440, 2005-Ohio-2591, 828 N.E.2d 107, ¶ 5; see also State ex rel. Hughley v. McMonagle, 121 Ohio St.3d 536, 2009-Ohio-1703, 905 N.E.2d 1220, ¶ 1. This holding renders moot Judge McMonagle‘s motion to strike Hughley‘s merit brief.
Judgment affirmed.
