Opinion

Per Curiam.

{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment dismissing the petition of appellant, Michael E. Cool, for a writ of habeas corpus. He had an adequate remedy by appeal to raise his claim that the trial court erred in denying his motion for jail-time credit. See State ex rel. Rudolph v. Horton, 119 Ohio St.3d 350, 2008-Ohio-4476, 894 N.E.2d 49, ¶ 3. And the fact that Cool has already unsuccessfully invoked alternate remedies in the ordinary course of law by motion and appeal to raise this claim does not entitle him to extraordinary relief in habeas corpus to relitigate the matter. Heddleston v. Mack, 84 Ohio St.3d 213, 702 N.E.2d 1198 (1998). Res judicata bars Cool from using habeas corpus to obtain a successive appellate review of the same claim. State ex rel. Harsh v. Sheets, 132 Ohio St.3d 198, 2012-Ohio-2368, 970 N.E.2d 926, ¶ 1.

Judgment affirmed.

O’Connor, C.J., and Pfeifer, O’Donnell, Lanzinger, Kennedy, French, and O’Neill, JJ., concur. *186 Michael DeWine, Attorney General, and Maura O’Neill Jaite, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
