MITCHELL v. SMITH (2008)

{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the petition of appellant, Ervin L. Mitchell, for a writ of habeas corpus because a claimed violation of Crim.R. 32(C) does not entitle an inmate to immediate release from prison.   Instead, if a violation is established, “the appropriate remedy is resentencing instead of outright release.”  McAllister v. Smith, 119 Ohio St.3d 163, 2008-Ohio-3881, 892 N.E.2d 914, ¶ 9.¹

Judgment affirmed.
