Pishok, Appellant, v. Kelly, Warden, Appellee.
    [Cite as Pishok v. Kelly, 122 Ohio St.3d 292, 2009-Ohio-3452.]
    
      (No. 2009-0342
    Submitted July 14, 2009
    Decided July 21, 2009.)
    David J. Pishok, pro se.
    Richard Cordray, Attorney General, and M. Scott Criss, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
   Per Curiam.

{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the petition for a writ of habeas corpus of appellant, David J. Pishok. Habeas corpus is not available to challenge the validity or sufficiency of a charging instrument. McCuller v. Hudson, 121 Ohio St.3d 168, 2009-Ohio-721, 902 N.E.2d 979, ¶ 1. Following Pishok’s conviction and sentence for crimes charged in the indictment, the judgment bound him, and he had an adequate remedy in the ordinary course of law by appeal to raise his claim that the indictment was defective. Monroe v. Jackson, 119 Ohio St.3d 344, 2008-Ohio-4480, 894 N.E.2d 43, ¶ 4.

Judgment affirmed.

Moyer, C.J., and Pfeifer, Lundberg Stratton, O’Connor, O’Donnell, Lanzinger, and Cupp, JJ., concur.
