Syllabus

POSTCONVICTION — R.C. 2953.23(A) — SUCCESSIVE PETITIONS: The common pleas court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction to entertain defendant's successive petition for postconviction relief under R.C. 2953.23(A), because defendant's claims failed to satisfy the statutory exceptions for successive petitions under R.C. 2953.23(A)(1), where the claims were based on the charging document and not facts that the defendant was unavoidably prevented from discovering.
