• 2022 Ohio 1660

Syllabus

App.R. 26(B) application to reopen, ineffective assistance of trial counsel, ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, petition for postconviction relief, untimeliness, COVID-19 restrictions, and dead-bang winner. The court denied the App.R. 26(B) application to reopen. The rule does not apply to denials of postconviction relief petitions. The application was untimely. COVID-19 restrictions did not provide good cause, because the application was due before such restrictions took effect. Allegations of a \dead-bang winner\ also do not provide good cause for untimely filing.
