SLIP OPINION NO. 2011-OHIO-2639 THE STATE EX REL. PETERSON, APPELLANT, v. DURKIN, JUDGE, ET AL., APPELLEES. [Until this opinion appears in the Ohio Official Reports advance sheets, it may be cited as State ex rel. Peterson v. Durkin, Slip Opinion No. 2011-Ohio-2639.] Appeal from dismissal of a petition for a writ of mandamus and procedendo No error in sentencing entry Judgment affirmed. (No. 2011-0260 Submitted May 25, 2011 Decided June 7, 2011.) APPEAL from the Court of Appeals for Mahoning County, No. 10 MA 155. __________________ Per Curiam. {¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the petition of appellant, Bobbie Peterson, for writs of mandamus and procedendo to compel appellees, Mahoning County Court of Common Pleas Judge John M. Durkin and the common pleas court, to enter a sentencing entry that complies with Crim.R. 32(C) and properly imposes postrelease control. Judge Durkin s February 27, 2007 sentencing entry fully complied with Crim.R. 32(C) by SUPREME COURT OF OHIO including his guilty plea, the sentence, the judge s signature, and the time stamp indicating the entry upon the journal by the clerk of court. The entry also included sufficient language that postrelease control was part of his sentence so as to give appellant sufficient notice to raise any claimed errors on appeal rather than by extraordinary writ.
