Syllabus

App.R. 26(B) application for reopening res judicata preliminary hearing valid indictment jurisdiction of court of common pleas over felony case. The appellant's App.R. 26(B) application for reopening is denied because appellate counsel was not ineffective on appeal. The appellant has failed to raise proposed assignments of error in support of his application for reopening. However, the appellant has presented sufficient arguments to discern proposed issues in support of the claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. A review of the issues raised in support of the application for reopening, as premised upon a defective preliminary hearing and lack of jurisdiction on the part of the trial court, fails to establish that the appellant was prejudiced by appellate counsel on appeal.
