Per Curiam.

{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the

petition of appellant, David Hart, for a writ of habeas corpus. Hart’s speedy-trial

claim is not cognizable in habeas corpus, and he had an adequate remedy by

appeal from his sentencing entry to raise his claim. Tisdale v. Eberlin, 114 Ohio

St.3d 201, 2007-Ohio-3833, 870 N.E.2d 1191, ¶ 7; Boles v. Knab, 130 Ohio St.3d

339, 2011-Ohio-5049, 958 N.E.2d 554, ¶ 1. Hart also waived the additional

claims he raises on appeal—ineffective assistance of counsel and denial of his

rights to due process and equal protection—because he failed to raise them in the

court of appeals. State ex rel. Compton v. Sutula, 132 Ohio St.3d 35, 2012-Ohio-

1653, 968 N.E.2d 476, ¶ 4. In addition, these claims are also not cognizable in

habeas corpus, and Hart had an adequate remedy by appeal to raise them. See,

e.g., Everett v. Eberlin, 114 Ohio St.3d 199, 2007-Ohio-3832, 870 N.E.2d 1190,

¶ 6 (ineffective assistance of counsel); Austin v. Sacks, 172 Ohio St. 292, 175

N.E.2d 175 (1961) (due process).

Judgment affirmed.

O’CONNOR, C.J., and PFEIFER, LUNDBERG STRATTON, O’DONNELL,

LANZINGER, CUPP, and MCGEE BROWN, JJ., concur.
