Syllabus

App.R. 26(B) application for reopening, ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, res judicata. The applicant has filed a timely application for reopening pursuant to App.R. 26(B). The doctrine of res judicata, however, bars further review of the applicant's sole proposed assignment of error in support of his claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. The applicant's proposed assignment of error was previously reviewed on appeal and found to be without merit. We further find that the application of the doctrine of res judicata is not unjust and thus deny the application for reopening.
