• 2021 Ohio 2952

Syllabus

APPELLATE REVIEW – JURISDICTION – POSTCONVICTION: The common pleas court did not err in dismissing petitioner-appellant's postconviction petition without a hearing where the petition was filed one day late, therefore the court had no jurisdiction to entertain the petition. R.C. 2953.23 requires strict adherence to filing deadlines in postconviction claims and there is no \prison mailbox\ exception. Further, none of the R.C. 2953.23 exceptions applied.
