JAMES D. SWEENEY, C.J.:
     Relator avers that she is the mother of the children in In re:
Copley, Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court Case Nos. 9791959-9791961,
which have been assigned to respondent judge.  Relator  complains
that, although respondent issued findings of fact and conclusions
of law  on August  14, 1997, the  clerk has  not journalized  the
findings of fact and  conclusions of law.  Relator requests  that
this court compel respondent "to cause the clerk to enter its order
upon the  journal and serve the  parties."  Complaint, ad  damnum
clause.
     Respondent  has  filed  a  motion  to  dismiss  or,  in  the
alternative, for summary judgment (Motion No. 88056), attached to
which is a copy  of the findings of  fact and conclusions of  law
issued by respondent.  The findings of fact and conclusions of law
were filed  and journalized  by  the clerk  on August  20,  1997.
Relator has not opposed respondent's motion.  Respondent  argues,
inter alia,  that there is  no factual basis  for this action  in
mandamus.  We agree.  Furthermore, "the relief requested has been
performed."   State ex rel. Crim  v. Villanueva (June 19,  1996),
Cuyahoga App. No. 70635, unreported.
     Accordingly, respondent's  motion  for summary  judgment  is
granted.  Relator to pay costs.
     Writ denied.
                               -3-
