## Opinion text

Per Curiam.
Habeas corpus is not a proper remedy for reviewing errors of sentencing by a court of competent jurisdiction. Walker v. Maxwell (1965), 1 Ohio St. 2d 136 , 30 O.O. 2d 487, 205 N.E. 2d 394 . Appeal or postconviction relief would be the proper remedy. Since it appears from the face of his petition that petitioner has sought and been denied postconviction relief on *140 this issue, the matter is res judicata. See Anderson v. Maxwell (1967), 10 Ohio St. 2d 188 , 39 O.O. 2d 196, 226 N.E. 2d 103 . Accordingly, the writ is denied.
Writ denied.
Moyer, C.J., Sweeney, Logher, Holmes, Douglas, Wright and H. Brown, JJ., concur.
