IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO
SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
WOOD COUNTY
State of Ohio Court of Appeals No. WD-14-015
Appellee Trial Court No. 11 CR 276
v.
Dwain Hines DECISION AND JUDGMENT
Appellant Decided: August 8, 2014
*****
Paul A. Dobson, Wood County Prosecuting Attorney, Gwen Howe-Gebers
and David T. Harold, Assistant Prosecuting Attorneys, for appellee.
Dwain Hines, pro se.

SINGER, J.
{¶ 1} Appellant, Dwain Hines, was convicted and sentenced following the
acceptance of his guilty plea on June 11, 2012. He did not file an appeal from this
judgment. He filed a pro-se petition for post-conviction relief on October 22, 2012, and
sought appointment of counsel to assist him. His petition was denied on November 16,
2012, and affirmed on appeal on September 13, 2013. State v. Hines, 6th Dist.Wood No.
WD-12-069, 2013-Ohio-3954. He filed a motion for jail-time credit on January 21, 2014,
seeking 212 days of credit to be applied to his sentence. The trial court granted his
motion in part and denied the motion in part on February 6, 2014. Appellant appeals
from the February 6, 2014 judgment asserting the following single assignments of error:
The Trial Court Erred when it Denied Mr. Hines Jail Time Credit for
the time he spent in the Summit County Jail for the Warrant Issued by
Wood County.
{¶ 2} We cannot reach the merits of appellant’s argument because it is barred by
the doctrine of res judicata. State v. Perry, 10 Ohio St.2d 175, 226 N.E.2d 104 (1967),
paragraph nine of the syllabus. Appellant was represented by counsel in the trial court.
Appellant could have asserted that the trial court erred in calculating his jail-time credit in
a direct of appeal of his conviction and sentence. By failing to file a direct appeal,
appellant has waived his right to assert this alleged error. State v. Fitzgerald, 8th Dist.
Cuyahoga No. 98723, 2013-Ohio-1893, ¶ 3, and State v. Deal, 3d Dist. Hancock
No. 5-08-15, 2008-Ohio-5408, ¶ 8-9. Appellant’s sole assignment of error is not well-
taken.
{¶ 3} The judgment of the Wood County Court of Common Pleas is
affirmed. Appellant is ordered to pay the court costs of this appeal pursuant to
App.R. 24.
Judgment affirmed.
