                APPEAL from the Court of Appeals for Noble County,

        {¶ 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.
