Per Curiam.
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the complaint of appellant, Jeffery Mack, for a writ of mandamus to compel appellee, Medina County Court of Common Pleas Judge Christopher J. Collier, to hold a de novo resentencing hearing to correct an error in a sentencing entry that allegedly violated Crim.R. 32(C). “ ‘[T]he remedy for a failure to comply with Crim.R. 32(C) is a revised sentencing entry rather than a new hearing.’ ” State ex rel. Scheck v. Collier, 128 Ohio St.3d 316, 2011–Ohio–233, 943 N.E.2d 1022, ¶ 1, quoting State ex rel. Alicea v. Krichbaum, 126 Ohio St.3d 194, 2010–Ohio–3234, 931 N.E.2d 1079, ¶ 2. In addition, any error regarding the failure to hold a sentencing hearing before issuing a nunc pro tunc entry correcting the term of postrelease control could have been raised on appeal. Scheck at ¶ 1. Finally, although Mack claims on appeal that he is entitled to a revised sentencing entry setting forth the manner of his conviction, his prayer for relief in his complaint was limited to a resentencing hearing. Mack thus waived this claim. See State ex rel. Repository v. Nova Behavioral Health, Inc., 112 Ohio St.3d 338, 2006–Ohio–6713, 859 N.E.2d 936, ¶ 41 (relator in mandamus case waived claim that it could have raised, but failed to raise in its complaint or in an amended complaint).
Judgment affirmed.
PER CURIAM.
