Per Curiam. 
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals denying the motion 
of appellant, Dana Goins, for leave to file a second petition for a writ of habeas 
corpus.  Res judicata bars Goins from filing a successive habeas corpus petition to 
raise claims that he raised or could have raised in his previous petition.  See State 
ex rel. Johnson v. Pineda, 126 Ohio St.3d 480, 2010-Ohio-4387, 935 N.E.2d 38, ¶ 
1.1   
                                                 
1 We deny appellant’s motion for oral argument.
