JAMES D. SWEENEY, C.J.:
     Relator, James Smiddle, seeks writs of mandamus,  procedendo
and prohibition in order to compel the respondent, Judge Daniel O.
Corrigan,  to render  a  judgment with  regard  to a  motion  for
correction of sentence as filed in the underlying case of State v.
Smiddle, Cuyahoga  Common Pleas  Case No.   CR-309308.   For  the
following reasons, we dismiss the relator's complaint.
     A review of the docket in Cuyahoga Common Pleas Case No.  CR-
309308 demonstrates that on October 14, 1997, the respondent denied
the relator's  motion for  correction  of sentence.   A  writ  of
mandamus or  procedendo 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 County Court of Common Pleas
(1966), 74 Ohio St.3d 278.  In addition, the relator has failed to
demonstrate that he is entitled to a writ of prohibition.  State ex
rel. Doe v.  Tracy (1988), 51 Ohio  App.3d 198.  Accordingly,  we
dismiss the relator's complaint for writs of mandamus, procedendo
and prohibition.  Costs to relator.
     Writ dismissed.
