Per Curiam.
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the
petition of appellant, Andrew Bevins Jr., for a writ of habeas corpus. Bevins’s
claims are not cognizable in habeas corpus. Boles v. Knab, 130 Ohio St.3d 339,
2011-Ohio-5049, 958 N.E.2d 554, ¶ 1 (speedy trial); Thomas v. Huffman, 84 Ohio
St.3d 266, 267, 703 N.E.2d 315 (1998) (equal protection); Bellman v. Jago, 38
Ohio St.3d 55, 55-56, 526 N.E.2d 308 (1988) (due process). Bevins had an
adequate remedy by appeal to raise his claims.
Judgment affirmed.
O’CONNOR, C.J., and PFEIFER, LUNDBERG STRATTON, O’DONNELL,
LANZINGER, CUPP, and MCGEE BROWN, JJ., concur.
