State v. Chafiin
Citations
- 2021 Ohio 1383
Syllabus
Trial court properly construed appellant's motion to amend or vacate the 1993 sentencing entry as a successive petition for postconviction relief and denied it on grounds that appellant failed to establish the applicability of one of the exceptions in R.C. 2953.23(A) and that his claims were otherwise barred by res judicata, although technically, the trial court should have dismissed the petition for lack of jurisdiction.
