Syllabus

Void sentence res judicata vexatious litigator. A trial court does not err by denying a motion to vacate a void sentence where appellant concedes that the sentencing order was valid and advances no claim that sentence was not statutorily authorized or that the trial court was without authority to impose it. A claim that a sentence is void fails where it merely seeks to relitigate previously decided issues. Moreover, where a party continues to engage in such frivolous conduct and to assert such claims, that party may be declared a vexatious litigator.
