        {¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals denying the
petition of appellant, Jesse L. Gooden, for a writ of habeas corpus to compel his
immediate release from prison. Gooden had an adequate remedy by way of
appeal to raise his claim of sentencing error. Roberts v. Knab, 131 Ohio St.3d 60,
2012-Ohio-56, 960 N.E.2d 457, ¶ 1. And as the court of appeals recognized,
“[t]he different numbering of the counts in the indictment and verdict forms was
neither error nor prejudicial to” Gooden. Gooden v. Bradshaw, 5th Dist. No.
11CA55, 2011-Ohio-5300, ¶ 3. See State v. Washington, 9th Dist. No. 18199,
1997 WL 775666, *7 (Nov. 26, 1997).
                                                                   Judgment affirmed.
