Per Curiam.
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals denying the motion
of appellant, Dana Goins, for leave to file a second petition for a writ of habeas
corpus. Res judicata bars Goins from filing a successive habeas corpus petition to
raise claims that he raised or could have raised in his previous petition. See State
ex rel. Johnson v. Pineda, 126 Ohio St. 3d 480, 2010-Ohio-4387, 935 N.E.2d 38, ¶
1.1
Judgment affirmed.
O’CONNOR, C.J., and PFEIFER, LUNDBERG STRATTON, O’DONNELL,
LANZINGER, CUPP, and MCGEE BROWN, JJ., concur.
