We present a fully relativistic study on the standing shock formation for magnetohydrodynamical plasmas in a stationary and axisymmetric black hole magnetosphere. We express all the postshock physical quantities in terms of the relativistic compression ratio. Then, the downstream state of a shocked plasma is determined by the upstream state of the accretion. We also discuss the dragging-effects of the rotating black hole on the shock conditions.
