PATRICIA A. BLACKMON, A.J.:
     Relator avers  that he is the  defendant in State v.  Grant,
Cuyahoga  County Court of  Common Pleas Case  No. CR-171404.   On
                               -2-
December 11, 1997, relator filed what he captioned as  motion for
de  novo determination  or nunc  pro tunc  order, correcting  the
sentencing entry  ( motion to correct sentence ) in Case No.  CR-
171404.  Relator  requests that this  court compel respondent  to
issue a journal entry disposing of the motion.
     Respondent has filed a motion for summary judgment (Motion No.
95004).  Attached to Motion No. 95004 is a copy of the  docket in
Case  No. CR-171404  which reflects  that the  motion to  correct
sentence was denied by entry received for filing on March 16, 1998.
In response, relator indicates that he has not received the entry
denying the motion to correct sentence and requests that this court
compel respondent to send a copy of the entry to relator.  Relator
does not,  however,  set forth  any authority  establishing  that
respondent has a clear legal duty to send relator the entry.
     In State ex rel. Lockhart v. Coyne (June 11, 1998), Cuyahoga
App. No. 73240, unreported, the relator requested that this court
compel  the respondent  judge  to rule  on  a motion  to  correct
sentence.   We held  that  the relator's  request for  relief  in
mandamus was moot.  This action requires the same result.
     Accordingly,  in light  of Lockhart,  we grant  respondent's
motion for summary judgment.  Relator to pay costs.
     Writ denied.
