JAMES D. SWEENEY, C.J.:
     Relator, Michael Dozier, seeks a writ of mandamus in order to
compel the respondent,  Judge Stuart A.  Friedman, to grant  pre-
conviction jail  time credit in the  underlying case of State  v.
Dozier, Cuyahoga  County Common Pleas  Case No.  CR-387218.   The
respondent has filed a motion for summary judgment.
     Attached to the respondent's motion for summary judgment is a
copy of a journal entry in which the relator was granted jail time
credit in the amount of two hundred and thirty-eight (238)  days.
A writ  of  mandamus will  not  issue to  compel an  act  already
performed. State ex rel. Gantt v. Coleman (1983), 6 Ohio St.3d 5;
State ex rel. Jerningham  v. Cuyahoga Cty. Court of Common  Pleas
(1996), 74 Ohio St.3d 278.
     Accordingly, the respondent's motion for summary judgment is
granted.  Costs to respondent.
     Writ denied.
