JAMES D. SWEENEY, C.J.:
     Relator, John E. Taylor, seeks a writ of mandamus in order to
compel the respondent, the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas,
to grant pre-conviction jail time credit in the underlying case of
State v. Taylor, Cuyahoga  Common Pleas Case No. CR-320301.   The
respondent has filed a motion to dismiss, which this court grants
for the following reasons.
     A review of the docket in CR-320301 clearly discloses that the
relator's  request  for  jail time  credit  was  granted  by  the
respondent on September 12, 1997, and that the relator was credited
with the  amount of  one hundred  eighty-three (183)  days.   The
respondent has fulfilled its duty to grant the relator credit for
any pre-conviction incarceration, and thus the relator's  request
for mandamus is moot.  State  ex rel. Gantt v. Coleman (1983),  6
Ohio St.3d 5; State ex rel. Jerningham v. Cuyahoga County Court of
Common Pleas (1996), 74 Ohio St.3d 278.  In addition, any further
dispute  concerning  the  amount of  jail  time  credit  must  be
considered through a direct  appeal.  Mandamus will not issue  to
correct the  amount of jail time  credit granted to the  relator.
State ex rel. Spates v.  Judge James J. Sweeney (Apr. 19,  1997),
Cuyahoga App. No. 71986, unreported; State ex rel. Ney v. Niehaus
(1987), 33 Ohio St.3d 118.
     Accordingly, we grant  the respondent's  motion to  dismiss.
Costs to relator.
                                3
     Writ dismissed.
