        {¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the
petition of appellant, Jerone McDougald, for a writ of habeas corpus. His claims
are not cognizable in habeas corpus. See Pishok v. Kelly, 122 Ohio St.3d 292,
2009-Ohio-3452, 910 N.E.2d 1033 (validity or sufficiency of charging
instrument); Junius v. Eberlin, 122 Ohio St.3d 53, 2009-Ohio-2383, 907 N.E.2d
1179 (actual innocence); Keith v. Bobby, 117 Ohio St.3d 470, 2008-Ohio-1443,
884 N.E.2d 1067, ¶ 15 (fraud upon the court, prosecutorial misconduct, and
perjured testimony).
                                                                      Judgment affirmed.
