PATRICIA A. BLACKMON, A.J.:
     On June 1, 1998, the relator, Samuel Teasley, commenced this
mandamus action against the respondent, Judge Carolyn Friedland, to
compel the judge to issue findings of fact and conclusions of law
for a postconviction  relief petition which Mr. Teasley filed  on
September 23, 1996, in the underlying case, State of Ohio v. Sameul
Teasley,Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Case No. CR-307174.  On
July  8,  1998,  the  respondent,  through  the  Cuyahoga  County
Prosecutor, moved for summary judgment on the grounds of mootness.
Attached  to the dispositive  motion was a  copy of a  certified,
signed journal entry,  file stamped July 7, 1998, containing  the
requisite findings of fact and conclusions of law for Mr. Teasley's
petition. This attachment establishes that the judge has fulfilled
her duty to issue the findings of fact and conclusions of law and
that Mr.  Teasley has  received the  relief he  has requested,  a
resolution of his postconviction petition.  Mr. Teasley never filed
a response to the dispositive motion.
     Accordingly, this  mandamus action is  moot, the motion  for
summary judgment is  granted, and this writ action is  dismissed.
Respondent to pay costs.
JAMES M. PORTER, J., CONCURS.
