Kevin Humphrey entered a negotiated plea of guilty on one count of child molestation in October 2003 and was sentenced to twenty years probation, with the first two years to be served in a detention center and the remainder of the term subject to various conditions. In June 2009, Humphrey filed a motion to terminate his probation pursuant to OCGA § 17-10-1 a 2 under certain circumstances, probation supervision to terminate no later than two years from commencement and the trial court’s denial of this motion was affirmed on appeal. Humphrey v. State , 301 Ga. App. 877 689 SE2d 102 2010. In October 2010, Humphrey filed a petition for writ of mandamus seeking to compel a change from supervised to unsupervised probation; the termination of mandatory therapy sessions and polygraph tests; and the restoration of his access to computers. The trial court dismissed the petition and this appeal ensued. The right to the extraordinary writ of mandamus exists only upon meeting a two prong test: 1 the applicant must demonstrate a clear legal right to the relief sought, and 2 there must be no other adequate remedy. Cits. . . . Expectation that utilization of the other remedy will result in an adverse decision does not render the other remedy inadequate. Carnes v. Crawford , 246 Ga. 677, 678 272 SE2d 690 1980. See also OCGA § 9-6-20. Here, Humphrey cannot demonstrate a right to mandamus relief, as mandamus is not the proper vehicle for obtaining post-appeal review of a sentence imposed by a state court. Saleem v. Forrester , 262 Ga. 693 424 SE2d 623 1993. Moreover, Humphrey has access to the remedy of habeas corpus. See OCGA § 9-14-1 c. That the utilization of such remedy may be barred by the statute of limitation, see OCGA § 9-14-42 c 1 habeas action as to non-capital felony conviction final as of July 1, 2004 must be filed by July 1, 2008, does not render it inadequate. Carnes , supra at 678. For these reasons, the trial court did not err by dismissing Humphrey’s petition for mandamus. Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
