Per Curiam. 
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals denying the 
petition of appellant, Kevin Hughley, for a writ of mandamus to compel appellee, 
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Timothy McMonagle, to 
resentence him to correct an allegedly improper resentencing order.  Hughley “has 
or had adequate remedies in the ordinary course of law, e.g., appeal and 
postconviction relief, for review of any alleged sentencing error.”  State ex rel. 
Jaffal v. Calabrese, 105 Ohio St.3d 440, 2005-Ohio-2591, 828 N.E.2d 107, ¶ 5; 
see also State ex rel. Hughley v. McMonagle, 121 Ohio St.3d 536, 2009-Ohio-
1703, 905 N.E.2d 1220, ¶ 1.  This holding renders moot Judge McMonagle’s 
motion to strike Hughley’s merit brief. 
Judgment affirmed.
