[Cite as McIntyre v. Reid, 2010-Ohio-1581.] Court of Appeals of Ohio EIGHTH APPELLATE DISTRICT COUNTY OF CUYAHOGA JOURNAL ENTRY AND OPINION No. 94547 CHARLES D. MCINTYRE PETITIONER vs. SHERIFF, BOB REID RESPONDENT JUDGMENT: PETITION DENIED Writ of Habeas Corpus Motion No. 431032 Order No. 432263 RELEASE DATE: April 6, 2010 FOR PETITIONER Charles D. Mcintyre, pro se S.O. #89859 2 Cuyahoga County Jail P.O. Box 5600 Cleveland, Ohio 44101 ATTORNEYS FOR RESPONDENT William D. Mason Cuyahoga County Prosecutor By: Katherine Mullin Assistant County Prosecutor 8th Floor Justice Center 1200 Ontario Street Cleveland, Ohio 44113 MARY J. BOYLE, J.: {¶ 1} Petitioner, Charles D. McIntyre, is the defendant in State v. McIntyre, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case No. CR-530850. He complains that he was to have participated in the Parma Pilot Project but was bound over to the court of common pleas by the Parma Municipal Court. Complaint, at ¶4. He also complains that early disposition proceedings were negated, and petitioner received a direct indictment on November 20, 2009. Therefore, critical procedural requirements were abrogated, consequently, disturbing personal jurisdiction in the process. Id. at ¶4-5. {¶ 2} A review of the docket in Case No. CR-530850, however, confirms that McIntyre was indicted November 20, 2009 and also arraigned on November 25, 2009. The manner by which a defendant is accused of a crime is procedural and not jurisdictional. Gotel v. Gansheimer, 16 Ohio St.3d 316, 3 2007-Ohio-6437, 878 N.E.2d 1041, at ¶6. The court of common pleas has the jurisdiction to try, convict and sentence McIntyre. Boylen v. Bradshaw, 108 Ohio St.3d 181, 2006-Ohio-549, 842 N.E.2d 49, at ¶5. McIntyre has not, therefore, stated a claim for relief in habeas corpus. See Sherrod v. McFaul, Cuyahoga App. No. 87264, 2005-Ohio-6347 (after petitioner appeared in municipal court where bond was set and he was bound over to the grand jury and then he was indicted and arraigned in the court of common pleas, his claim in habeas corpus was moot). As a consequence, respondent s motion for summary judgment is well-taken and we enter judgment for respondent. {¶ 3} The petition and supporting materials also have several defects. McIntyre did not attach to the petition a copy of the commitment or cause of detention as required by R.C. 2725.04(D). A copy of the docket is not sufficient. Henderson v. Shaffer, Cuyahoga App. No. 94485, 2010-Ohio-915. {¶ 4} Although McIntyre attaches an Affidavit Under Loc.R. 45(B) , an Affidavit of Verity , and an Affidavit of Prior Civil Action to the petition, none of these purported affidavits is notarized. As a consequence, McIntyre also did not verify the petition as required by R.C. 2725.04 and the petition is not supported with an affidavit specifying the details of the claim as required by Loc.App.R. 45(B)(1)(a). Any one of these grounds would be a sufficient 4 basis for dismissing this action. Casey v. Shaffer, Cuyahoga App. No. 94541, 2010-Ohio-369. {¶ 5} Defects in the complaint or petition commencing an original action, as well as in the requisite supporting materials, provide a sufficient basis for disposing of the action. See, e.g., State ex rel. Leon v. Cuyahoga Cty. Common Pleas Court, 123 Ohio St.3d 124, 2009-Ohio-4688, 914 N.E.2d 402; Martin v. Woods, 121 Ohio St.3d 609, 2009-Ohio-1928, 906 N.E.2d 1113. By so holding, we need not address the merits * * * of McIntyre s petition. Leon, supra, at ¶2. {¶ 6} Accordingly, respondent s motion for summary judgment is granted. Petitioner to pay costs. The clerk is directed to serve upon the parties notice of this judgment and its date of entry upon the journal. Civ.R. 58(B). {¶ 7} Petition denied. MARY J. BOYLE, JUDGE SEAN C. GALLAGHER, A.J., and MARY EILEEN KILBANE, J., CONCUR 5
