                 Ron O'Brien, Prosecuting Attorney, and Steven L. Taylor, for
                 appellee.

                 Donovan E. Simpson, pro se.

                  APPEAL from the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas

TYACK, J.

        {¶ 1} Donovan E. Simpson is appealing from the trial court's overruling of his
"motion to reverse conviction." Since the trial court acted correctly, we affirm.
        {¶ 2} Simpson alleges three errors in his briefs:
                 [I.] The prosecution violated Brady v. Maryland when they
                 failed to disclose exculpatory evidence in its possession.

                 [II.] Trial counsel was ineffective for failing to present a
                 defense, failing to request funds for a fire expert, failing to
                 object when the states fire investigator admit[ed] that they
                 had lost the physical evidence.

                 [III.] The trial court abused its discretion when it admitted
                 perjured testimony from the states witness.
No. 15AP-188                                                                           2


       {¶ 3} Simpson was convicted of numerous charges in 2001, including aggravated
murder and attempted murder. Following an appeal, he was resentenced in 2003. State
v. Simpson, 10th Dist. No. 01AP-757, 2002-Ohio-3717. In the ten plus years intervening,
he has filed numerous motions and petitions for post-conviction relief. His most recent
motion titled "motion to review convictions" can only be deemed a petition for post-
conviction relief.
       {¶ 4} The Ohio legislature has limited the time during which inmates can file
petitions for post-conviction relief. See R.C. 2953.21.
       {¶ 5} The time the legislature has allowed for such petition and for motions which
must be deemed as such petitions, has long since passed for Donovan Simpson. His latest
action is a time-barred and a successive post-conviction petition. The trial court was
correct to deny Simpson relief.
       {¶ 6} The assignments of error are overruled. The judgment of the trial court is
affirmed.
                                                                    Judgment affirmed.

                            KLATT and HORTON, JJ., concur.
