Per Curiam. 
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the 
petition for a writ of habeas corpus.  Appellant, Howard L. Knowles, did not 
attach to his petition one of the bindover entries he challenges.  Thus, his petition 
is fatally defective and subject to dismissal because he did not attach copies of all 
of his pertinent commitment papers.  Goudlock v. Voorhies, 119 Ohio St.3d 398, 
2008-Ohio-4787, 894 N.E.2d 692, ¶ 14. 
Judgment affirmed.
