• 2022 Ohio 1473

Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant's petition for postconviction relief without a hearing. Res judicata bars the consideration of appellant's claim for ineffective assistance of counsel because it could have been raised on direct appeal. Appellant has not offered any competent, relevant and material evidence, outside the trial court record, to demonstrate that he could not have made this claim based upon information in the original trial record. Res judicata also bars his claim to withdraw his guilty plea pursuant to Crim.R.32.1. Judgment affirmed.
