Habeas corpus—R.C. 2963.30—Interstate Agreement on Detainers—Res judicata—Court of appeals’ dismissal of petition affirmed.April 11th, 2014
FiledApril 11th, 2014{¶ 1} This is an appeal of the Fifth District Court of Appeals’ dismissal of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Appellant, James A. Dye Jr., asserts that he is being held unlawfully because the Crawford County Common Pleas Court in which he was convicted in 1992 was without jurisdiction to try him. This claim is based on his allegation that Ohio issued a detainer on him to the federal authorities in January 1991 and then returned him to federal custody after his later arraignment in state court, but before he was tried in state court. Dye asserts that this procedure violated Article IV(e) of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (“IAD”), which is codified at R.C. 2963.30.
