State ex rel. Sanchez v. Wainwright
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing Appellant's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, holding that the court of appeals correctly dismissed the habeas petition for failure to comply with Ohio Rev. Code 2969.25(A).
Appellant pleaded guilty to four counts of trafficking in cocaine and one count or engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity. The trial court sentenced Appellant to an aggregate prison sentence of fourteen years. Appellant later filed his habeas petition alleging that his sentences were void because the trial court failed to make the findings required under Ohio Rev. Code 2929.14(C)(4) before imposing consecutive prison sentences. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the petition was properly dismissed.
