Per Curiam. 
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals denying the 
petition of appellant, Jesse L. Gooden, for a writ of habeas corpus to compel his 
immediate release from prison.  Gooden had an adequate remedy by way of 
appeal to raise his claim of sentencing error.  Roberts v. Knab, 131 Ohio St.3d 60, 
2012-Ohio-56, 960 N.E.2d 457, ¶ 1.  And as the court of appeals recognized, 
“[t]he different numbering of the counts in the indictment and verdict forms was 
neither error nor prejudicial to” Gooden.  Gooden v. Bradshaw, 5th Dist. No. 
SUPREME COURT OF OHIO

1997 WL 775666, *7 (Nov. 26, 1997). 
Judgment affirmed.
