Opinion

Per Curiam.

{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the petition of appellant, Andrew Bevins Jr., for a writ of habeas corpus. Bevins’s claims are not cognizable in habeas corpus. Boles v. Knob, 130 Ohio St.3d 339, 2011-Ohio-5049, 958 N.E.2d 554, ¶ 1 (speedy trial); Thomas v. Huffman, 84 Ohio St.3d 266, 267, 703 N.E.2d 315 (1998) (equal protection); Bellman v. Jago, 38 Ohio St.3d 55, 55-56, 526 N.E.2d 308 (1988) (due process). Bevins had an adequate remedy by appeal to raise his claims.

Judgment affirmed.
