Per Curiam. 
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals denying the writ of 
habeas corpus requested by appellant, Terrance Quillen.  His June 2001 
sentencing entry “sufficiently included language that postrelease control was part 
of his sentence so as to afford him sufficient notice to raise any claimed errors on 
appeal rather than by extraordinary writ.”  State ex rel. Pruitt v. Cuyahoga Cty.

adequate remedy by way of appeal to raise his claims.”  State ex rel Castro v.
