THE STATE EX REL. PETERSON, APPELLANT, v. DURKIN, JUDGE, ET AL., APPELLEES.

No. 2011-0260

Supreme Court of Ohio

Submitted May 25, 2011—Decided June 7, 2011.

129 Ohio St.3d 213, 2011-Ohio-2639

Per Curiam.

{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the petition of appellant, Bobbie Peterson, for writs of mandamus and procedendo to compel appellees, Mahoning County Court of Common Pleas Judge John M. Durkin and the common pleas court, to enter a sentencing entry that complies with Crim.R. 32(C) and properly imposes postrelease control. Judge Durkin‘s February 27, 2007 sentencing entry fully complied with Crim.R. 32(C) by including his guilty plea, the sentence, the judge‘s signature, and the time stamp indicating the entry upon the journal by the clerk of court. The entry also included sufficient language that postrelease control was part of his sentence so as to give appellant sufficient notice to raise any claimed errors on appeal rather than by extraordinary writ.

Judgment affirmed.

Bobbie Peterson, pro se.

Paul J. Gains, Mahoning County Prosecuting Attorney, and Ralph M. Rivera, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellees.
