Summary of this case from Wade v. DirectorOpinion
No. 90-2043
Submitted June 26, 1991 —
Decided December 4, 1991.
APPEAL from the Court of Appeals for Marion County, No. 9-90-32.
Appellant, Quang Ly Tran, pled guilty to and was convicted of aggravated murder and aggravated robbery in 1988. On July 6, 1990, he filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the Court of Appeals for Marion County. That court dismissed the petition.
The cause is before this court upon an appeal as of right.
Quang Ly Tran, pro se. Lee I. Fisher, Attorney General, and John J. Gideon, for appellee.
On appeal, appellant argues that his conviction was obtained through fraud and trickery of the state and his court-appointed counsel. These allegations do not attack the jurisdiction of the sentencing court and are not grounds for issuing a writ of habeas corpus. See R.C. 2725.05 and State, ex rel. Justice, v. McMackin (1990), 53 Ohio St.3d 72, 558 N.E.2d 1183.
Accordingly, the judgment of the court of appeals is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
