EILEEN T. GALLAGHER, J.:
{¶1} Tracy Mays has filed a second application for reopening pursuant to App.R.
26(B). Mays is attempting to reopen the appellate judgment rendered in State v. Mays,
8th Dist. Cuyahoga No. 99150, 2013-Ohio-4031. That appeal affirmed his conviction
for the offense of domestic violence.
{¶2} Mays is permitted to file only one application for reopening with regard to a
specific appeal. Mays has already filed an App.R. 26(B) application for reopening, with
regard to appeal No. 99150, on December 2, 2013. The initial application for reopening
was denied on February 28, 2014. See State v. Mays, 8th Dist. Cuyahoga No. 99150,
2014-Ohio-814. There exists no right to file a second or successive application for
reopening under App.R. 26(B). State v. Cooey, 99 Ohio St.3d 345, 2003-Ohio-3914, 792
N.E.2d 720; State v. Williams, 99 Ohio St.3d 179, 2003-Ohio-3079, 790 N.E.2d 299;
