The State ex rel. Smith, Appellant, v. Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department et al., Appellees.
    [Cite as State ex rel. Smith v. Cuyahoga Cty. Sheriff’s Dept., 126 Ohio St.3d 482, 2010-Ohio-4389.]
    (No. 2010-0906
    — Submitted September 15, 2010
    — Decided September 22, 2010.)
    Gregory Smith, pro se.
    William D. Mason, Cuyahoga County Prosecuting Attorney, and James E. Moss, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellees.
   Per Curiam.

{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals denying the request of appellant, Gregory Smith, for a writ of habeas corpus to compel his release from confinement. Smith has an adequate remedy by way of appeal to raise his jurisdictional claim concerning his resentencing. See Patterson v. Ohio Adult Parole Auth., 120 Ohio St.3d 311, 2008-Ohio-6147, 898 N.E.2d 950, ¶ 8; State ex rel. Pruitt v. Cuyahoga Cty. Court of Common Pleas, 125 Ohio St.3d 402, 2010-Ohio-1808, 928 N.E.2d 722, ¶ 4. Moreover, res judicata bars Smith from filing a successive habeas corpus action to raise a claim that he could have raised in his previous action. [Smith] DeDonno v. Bradshaw, 124 Ohio St.3d 1413, 2009-Ohio-6816, 919 N.E.2d 213; Keith v. Kelley, 125 Ohio St.3d 161, 2010-Ohio-1807, 926 N.E.2d 646, ¶ 1.

Judgment affirmed.

Brown, C.J., and Pfeifer, Lundberg Stratton, O’Connor, O’Donnell, Lanzinger, and Cupp, JJ., concur. 
      
      . Although Smith claims that his last name is now DeDonno, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction still lists his last name as Smith.
