[Cite as Flora v. Rogers (1993),      Ohio St.3d    .]                           
Habeas corpus not available to review issues of                                  
nonjurisdictional nature -- No substitute for appeal.                            
     (No. 93-611 -- Submitted July 28, 1993 -- Decided                           
October 13, 1993.)                                                               
     Appeal from the Court of Appeals for Marion County, No.                     
9-93-9.                                                                          
     In a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, filed in the                     
court of appeals, appellant, Mike Flora, alleged that he was                     
convicted of aggravated murder and attempted kidnapping and                      
sentenced to from thirty years to life imprisonment.  He also                    
alleged that a kidnapping instruction was given during the                       
trial, which violated his constitutional rights and constituted                  
judicial misconduct entitling him to be released pursuant to a                   
writ of habeas corpus.  The court of apeals dismissed the                        
petition, finding that the issues raised did not attack the                      
jurisdiction of the court, and were, therefore, merely grounds                   
on which to appeal.                                                              
     The cause is before the court upon an appeal as of right.                   
                                                                                 
     Mike Flora, pro se.                                                         
                                                                                 
     Per Curiam.  We affirm the judgment of the court of                         
appeals for the reasons stated in its decision.                                  
                                    Judgment affirmed.
