ATRICIA A. BLACKMON, A.J.:
    On January 20, 1998, the relator, William Hunt, commenced this
                              -2-
andamus action against the respondent, Judge Judith Kilbane Koch,
o compel the judge to issue findings of fact and conclusions of law
or  a postconviction  relief  petition which  Mr. Hunt  filed  on
eptember 16, 1996, in the underlying case, State of Ohio v. William
unt,  Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Case No. CR-309158.   On
arch  3,  1998,  the  respondent,  through  the  Cuyahoga  County
rosecutor, moved for summary judgment on the grounds of mootness.
ttached to the dispositive motion was a copy of a certified, signed
nd file-stamped journal entry containing the requisite findings of
act  and  conclusions of  law  for  Mr. Hunt's  petition.    This
ttachment  establishes that the judge  has fulfilled her duty  to
ssue the findings of fact and conclusions of law and that Mr. Hunt
as  received the  relief he has  requested, a  resolution of  his
ostconviction petition.
    Accordingly,  this mandamus action  is moot,  the motion  for
ummary  judgment is granted, and  this writ action is  dismissed.
espondent to pay costs.
