Per Curiam.

We affirm the decision of the court of appeals for the ‍‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‍reason stated in its entry. Further, we reject Hawkins’ unsupported assumption that fewer than three judges of the court of appeals decided to ‍‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‍deny his application for reopening. The fact that only the presiding judge of the court of appeals signed the entry does not impeach ‍‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‍the entry. App.R. 22(A) requires only “a journal entry signed by a judge of the court.” Hawkins has not contradicted the presumption of regularity accorded ‍‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‍all judicial proceedings. State v. Sweet (1995), 72 Ohio St.3d 375, 650 N.E.2d 450; Coleman v. McGettrick (1965), 2 Ohio St.2d 177, 180, 31 O.O.2d 326, 328,207 N.E.2d 552, 554.

Judgment affirmed.
