Syllabus

Postconviction R.C. 2953.21 unavoidably prevented res judicata. Court did not err by dismissing petition for postconviction relief as untimely because the petitioner's evidentiary materials demonstrated that he had long been aware of the basis for the claims made in the petition, thus belying his assertion that he had been unavoidably prevented from filing the petition at an earlier date. Claims made and addressed in federal habeas proceedings are res judicata for same claims made in state court petition for postconviction relief.
