ORDER
[Resolving Docs. 1011, 1014]
JAMES S. GWIN, District Judge.
Defendant Ishmael Wahid has filed two motions that essentially amount to a request for this Court to reconsider its denial of his habeas petition for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255.1 Because those motions largely rehash the same arguments Wahid made in his petition, the Court DENIES both motions to reconsider for the same reasons given it its earlier order.2
Only one point requires further discussion. Upon further review of the Sixth Circuit's decision in United States v. Conzelmann,3 the Court believes that it may have erred in relying on the PSR's description of Wahid's 2003 drug conviction. Nonetheless, the Court also took judicial notice of the related state court Shepard4 documents, namely the indictments and journal entries from the 2003 conviction. Those documents are sufficient on their own to show that Wahid was convicted for manufacturing cocaine and thus support the Court's decision to dismiss Wahid's petition. The Court has attached copies of these documents to this Order for Petitioner's convenience and to facilitate review by the Sixth Circuit if Wahid elects to proceed with his appeal.
The Court continues to see no grounds to issue a certificate of appealability.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

THIS DAY, to-wit: The 25th day of November, 2003, now comes the Prosecuting Attorney on behalf of the State of Ohio, the Defendant, ISHMAEL A. WAHID, being in Court with counsel, DONALD MALARCIK, and said Defendant was fully advised of his Constitutional rights and his rights as required under Rule 11 of the Ohio Rules of Criminal Procedure.
Upon Motion of the Prosecuting Attorney on behalf of the State of Ohio, the Court hereby amends Count Seven (7) of the Supplement Two to Indictment to read as follows:
". . . fifty (50) grams . . ."
Thereupon, said Defendant retracts his plea of Not Guilty heretofore entered, and for negotiated plea, and agreed upon sentence, to said Indictment, says he is GUILTY of ILLEGAL MANUFACTURING OF DRUGS, as contained in Count One (1) of the Indictment, Ohio Revised Code Section 2925.04(A), a felony of the second (2nd) degree, which offense occurred on or about September 21, 2003; says he is GUILTY of POSSESSION OF HEROIN, as contained in the amended Count Seven (7) of the Supplement Two to Indictment, Ohio Revised Code Section 2925.1 1(A), a felony of the first (1.9 degree, which offense occurred on or about October 13, 2003; says he is GUILTY of POSSESSION OF COCAINE, as contained in Count Eight (8) of the Supplement Two to Indictment, Ohio Revised Code Section 2925.11(A), a felony of the first (1st) degree, which offense occurred on or about October 13, 2003, arid says he is GUILTY of HAVING WEAPONS WHILE UNDER DISABILITY, as contained in Count Ten (10) of the Supplement Two to Indictment, Ohio Revised Code Section 2923.13(A)(3), a felony of the fifth (5th,) degree, which offense occurred on or about October 13, 2003, which pleas, voluntarily made and with a full understanding of the consequences, are accepted by the Court.

The Court further finds the Defendant is not amenable to community control and that prison is consistent with the purposes of O.R.C. 2929.12
Thereupon, the Court inquired of the said Defendant if he had anything to say why judgment should not be pronounced against him; and having nothing but what he had already said arid showing no good and sufficient cause why judgment should not be pronounced:

WAHID, be committed to the OHIO DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION AND CORRECTION for a definite term of Six (6) Years, which IS a mandatory term pursuant to O.R.C. 2929.13(F), 2929.14(D)(3), or 2925.01, for punishment of the crime of ILLEGAL MANUFACTURING OF DRUGS, Ohio Revised Code Section 2925.04(A), a felony of the second (2nd) degree; for a definite term of Six (6) Years, which IS a mandatory term pursuant to O.R.C. 2929.13(F), 2929.14(D)(3), or 2925.01, for punishment of the crime of POSSESSION OF HEROIN, Ohio Revised Code Section 2925.11(A), a felony of the first (1st) degree; for a definite term of Six (6) Years, which IS a mandatory term pursuant to O.R.C. 2929.13(F), 2929.14(D)(3), or 2925.01, for punishment of the crime of POSSESSION OF COCA/NE, Ohio Revised Code Section 2925.11(A), a felony of the first (1st) degree; and for a definite term of One (1) Year, which is not a mandatory term pursuant to O.R.C. 2929.13(F), 2929.14(D)(3), or 2925.01, for punishment of the crime of HAVING WEAPONS WHILE UNDER DISABILITY, Ohio Revised Code Section 2923.13(A)(3), a felony of the fifth (5th) degree, and that the said Defendant pay the costs of this prosecution for which execution is hereby awarded; said monies to be paid to the Summit County Clerk of Courts, County Safety Building, 53 University Avenue, Akron, Ohio 44308.

JOURNAL ENTRY
ISHMAEL A. WAHID
THIS DAY, to wit: The 13th day of April 2010, according to the journal entry of the court, entered on November 25, 2003, defendant pled guilty to one count of illegal manufacture of drugs, a felony of the second (2nd) degree, one count of possession of heroin, a felony of the first (1st) degree, one count of psooession of cocaine, a felony of the first (1st) degree and one count of having weapons while under disability, a felony of the fifth (5th) degree. The Court sentenced defendant to serve six years and committed him to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections for that purpose, In addition, the court stated that defendant, after release from prison, would be "subject to post-release control to the extent the parole board may determine as provided by law." This was not an accurate statement of the terms of post release control. In fact, defendant was subject to a mandatory period of five years post release control under RC §2967.28. Where the sentence contains improper notification of post release control, the Supreme Court of Ohio has declared that the sentence must be considered void. State v. Simpkins 117 Ohio St.3d 420, 2008-Ohio-1197,
In the instant case, defendant is not subject to re-sentencing because he has completed serving the incarceration portion of his sentence. As a result, the determination that his sentence is void means that defendant cannot now be sentenced to a period of post release control. State v. Bezak, 114 Ohio St.3d 94, 2007-Ohio-94. Pursuant to Bezak, this court hereby declares that defendant has fully completed his sentence and is not subject to post release control. To the extent the Adult Parole Authority has placed defendant on post release control, that placement is invalid and must be terminated forthwith,
IT IS SO ORDERED.
