• 2017 Ohio 1304

Syllabus

The trial court did not err in denying the appellant's post-conviction relief petition based on untimeliness where he failed to file the petition within the time provided by statute and he failed to demonstrate that he was unavoidably prevented from timely discovery of the facts upon which his post-conviction claims relied. The trial court was without jurisdiction to consider the merits of appellant's petition without demonstrating justification for the late filing. Judgment affirmed.
