JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.
     Reginald V. Ray, relator, commenced this mandamus action  to
compel respondent, Judge  Stuart Friedman, to  issue a ruling  on
relator's Motion  for  Rehearing on  Crim.R. 32.3  Revocation  of
Probation that he  filed on May  30, 1997, in  C.P. Case No.  CR-
258536.   Respondent moved  to dismiss  the petition  as moot  by
submitting a certified, file-stamped copy of a journal entry dated
December 1, 1998,  wherein respondent  granted relator's  motion.
Since the relief requested has been performed, this action is now
moot and respondent's motion to dismiss is granted.
     Case dismissed.  Costs to respondent.
