JAMES D. SWEENEY, C.J.:
      On March 25, 1997, the relator, Phillip Wyley, commenced this
procedendo  action against  the  respondent,  the  Cuyahoga  County
Common Pleas Court, to compel the  court to rule upon "Motions  for
Production of  Records at  State Expense",  which he  filed in  the
underlying cases, State v. Wyley, Cuyahoga  Cty. C.P. Case Nos. CR-
319686 and  CR-321123 in  January, 1997.   On  April 24, 1997,  the
respondent,  through  the  Cuyahoga  County  Prosecutor,  moved for
summary  judgment  on the  grounds of  mootness.   Attached  to the
summary  judgment motion  were certified copies  of entries  in the
underlying cases which granted the production of documents at state
expense,  but  stipulated  that  they  be  made  available only  to
appellate counsel.   These  entries were  journalized in  February,
1997.  Mr.  Wyley never responded  to the summary judgment  motion.
Accordingly, because the court had  fulfilled its duty by ruling on
the relevant motions,  this action is  moot.   This action is  also
dismissed for failure  to comply with  Loc. App. R. 8(B)(1),  which
requires that petitions  in original actions "must  be supported by
an affidavit  from the plaintiff or relator  specifying the details
of the claim."  State ex rel. Wilson v. Calabrese (Jan.  18, 1996),
Cuyahoga App.  No. 70077, unreported.   Therefore,  the motion  for
summary judgment is granted, and the writ is dismissed.  Relator to
pay costs.
