PATRICIA A. BLACKMON,A.J.:
     Relator, Richard Haddad, has filed a complaint for a writ of
mandamus  and seeks an  order from this  court that requires  the
respondent, Judge Eileen Gallagher, to correct the amount of jail
time credit as granted in the underlying case of State v. Haddad,
Cuyahoga County  Court of Common Pleas  Case No. CR-353781.   The
respondent has filed a motion for summary judgment.
     This court  will not issue  a writ of  mandamus in order  to
correct any error  associated with the  calculation of jail  time
credit.  Any error  associated with the calculation of jail  time
credit must be addressed through a direct appeal.  State ex  rel.

73646, unreported; State ex rel. Spates v. Judge Sweeney (Apr. 17,

respondent's motion for  summary judgment is  granted.  Costs  to
relator.
