Syllabus

POSTCONVICTION—JURISDICTION: Defendant's postconviction challenge to the legal sufficiency of the evidence to support the firearm specification accompanying an aggravated-robbery charge was subject to dismissal for lack of jurisdiction: the claim was reviewable under R.C. 2953.21 et seq., governing the proceedings on a petition for postconviction relief, because the claim sought relief based on an alleged due-process violation during the proceedings leading to the aggravated-robbery conviction, R.C. 2953.21(A)(1) but the postconviction statutes did not confer jurisdiction to entertain the claim, because the claim did not satisfy R.C. 2953.21(A)(2)'s time restrictions or R.C. 2953.23's jurisdictional requirements for entertaining a late postconviction claim and the claim, even if demonstrated, would not have rendered the conviction void.
