THE STATE EX REL. WATLEY, APPELLANT, v. PFEIFFER, JUDGE, APPELLEE.
No. 2009-0965
Supreme Court of Ohio
October 28, 2009
123 Ohio St.3d 445, 2009-Ohio-5587
Submitted October 20, 2009
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the petition of appellant, Rayshon Watley, for a writ of mandamus to compel appellee, Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge Beverly Pfeiffer, to file an action Watley describes as a “1983 civil action.” Watley, who has been declared to be a vexatious litigator, did not seek leave of the court of appeals to proceed with filing his mandamus action, and the court of appeals was thus required to dismiss the action.
Judgment affirmed.
MOYER, C.J., and PFEIFER, LUNDBERG STRATTON, O‘CONNOR, O‘DONNELL, LANZINGER, and CUPP, JJ., concur.
Rayshon Watley, pro se.
Ron O‘Brien, Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney, and Patrick J. Piccininni, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellee.
TURNER, APPELLANT, v. BRUNSMAN, WARDEN, APPELLEE.
No. 2009-1129

123 Ohio St.3d 445, 2009-Ohio-5588
Submitted October 20, 2009
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the petition of appellant, Donald Turner, for a writ of habeas corpus. Turner‘s claim of nonjurisdictional sentencing errors is not cognizable in habeas corpus. See, e.g., Dunn v. Smith, 119 Ohio St.3d 364, 2008-Ohio-4565, 894 N.E.2d 312, ¶ 10. If, as Turner claims, the trial court refuses to issue a revised sentencing entry, he may compel the court to act through an action for a writ of mandamus or a writ of procedendo. Id. at ¶ 9.
Judgment affirmed.
MOYER, C.J., and PFEIFER, LUNDBERG STRATTON, O‘CONNOR, O‘DONNELL, LANZINGER, and CUPP, JJ., concur.
Donald Turner, pro se.
Richard Cordray, Attorney General, and William H. Lamb, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
