        {¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the
petition of appellant, Corey J. Williams, for a writ of habeas corpus. “[H]abeas
corpus is not available to remedy a claim concerning the validity of an
amendment to an indictment.” Haynes v. Voorhies, 110 Ohio St. 3d 243, 2006-
Ohio-4355, 852 N.E.2d 1198, ¶ 5. Williams’s “claim of sentencing error is not
cognizable in habeas corpus, and he had an adequate remedy in the ordinary
course of law to raise the issue.” See Roberts v. Knab, 131 Ohio St. 3d 60, 2012-
Ohio-56, 960 N.E.2d 457, ¶ 1.
                                                                        Judgment affirmed.
        O’CONNOR, C.J., and PFEIFER, LUNDBERG STRATTON, O’DONNELL,
LANZINGER, CUPP, and MCGEE BROWN, JJ., concur.
