PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS JOURNAL ENTRY AND OPINION Sua sponte, we dismiss the relator's petition for a writ of habeas corpus. A claimed violation of the relator's right to a speedy trial is not cognizable in habeas corpus. Russell v.Mitchell (1999),84 Ohio St.3d 328 ; State ex rel. Brantley v.Ghee (1997),80 Ohio St.3d 287 ; State ex rel. Brantley v.Anderson (1997),77 Ohio St.3d 446 .An appeal, rather than a writ of habeas corpus, is the appropriate remedy when a defendant in a criminal matter alleges a violation of the right to a speedy trial. State ex rel. Dotsonv. Rogers (1993),
66 Ohio St.3d 25 ; Russell v. Tate (1992),64 Ohio St.3d 444 . The defendant, upon appeal, may also apply for a stay of execution of sentence pursuant to App. R. 8 and Loc. App. R. 8.Accordingly, we dismiss the relator's petition for a writ of habeas corpus for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. See Civ.R. 12 (B) (6); State ex rel. Peeples v.Anderson (1995),
73 Ohio St.3d 559 . Costs to relator.Writ dismissed.
