Per Curiam.
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals denying the claim of appellant, Corey Hazel, for a writ of procedendo to compel appellee, Franklin County Court of Common Pleas Judge John F. Bender, to enter judgment on Hazel's September 4, 2007 petition for postconviction relief. Hazel had an adequate remedy in the ordinary course of law by appeal to raise his claim, and he raised it in State v. Hazel, Franklin App. Nos. 08AP-789 and 08AP-790, 2009-Ohio-880, at ¶ 8. Procedendo does not lie when the relator has an adequate remedy in the ordinary course of the law. State ex rel. New Concept Hous., Inc. v. Metz, 123 Ohio St.3d 457, 2009-Ohio-5862, 917 N.E.2d 796, ¶ 2. And “[e]xtraordinary writs may not be used to gain successive appellate reviews of the same issue.” State ex rel. Woods v. Oak Hill Community Med. Ctr. (2001), 91 Ohio St.3d 459, 462, 746 N.E.2d 1108.1
Judgment affirmed.
PER CURIAM.
