PATRICIA A. BLACKMON, A.J.:
     In the sentencing  entry issued in State v. Artis,  Cuyahoga
County  Court of Common  Pleas Case No.  CR-334433, the court  of
common pleas  instructed respondent  sheriff to  verify the  time
served in  Georgia pursuant to  a capias issued  in Case No.  CR-
334433.  Relator  requests that this  court compel respondent  to
comply with the court's instruction.
     Respondent has filed a motion for summary judgment (Motion No.
92231) attached to which is a copy of a journal entry issued by the
court of  common pleas and  received for filing  by the clerk  on
February 2, 1998 in which respondent granted relator one additional
day of jail time credit and indicated:  Defendant will not receive
credit for time while serving time in Cobb County Jail in Georgia.
Relator has not opposed the motion.  Respondent argues that  this
action in mandamus is, therefore, moot.  We agree.
     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.
State ex rel. Washington v. Saffold (Jan. 29, 1998), Cuyahoga App.
No. 73561, unreported, at 2.
     Accordingly, respondent's  motion  for summary  judgment  is
granted.  Relator to pay costs.
     Writ denied.
