        {¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the
petition of appellant, Timothy A. Miller, for a writ of habeas corpus. Miller
previously filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus that raised the same issues
as in this petition. Miller v. Eberlin, 116 Ohio St.3d 1434, 2007-Ohio-6518, 877
N.E.2d 987. Res judicata barred Miller from filing a successive habeas corpus
petition. Amstutz v. Eberlin, 119 Ohio St.3d 421, 2008-Ohio-4538, 894 N.E.2d
1219, ¶ 7.
