JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.:
     On November 10, 1998, the relator, Charles Dissette, commenced
this mandamus action against the respondent, the Cuyahoga  County
                               -2-
Sheriff, to compel the sheriff to send to the Record Office of the
Trumbull Correctional Institution a statement of the correct number
of days he spent in jail for the underlying cases, State of Ohio v.
Charles Dissette. Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Case Nos. Cr-
325134 to 325139.  Mr.  Dissette maintains he is entitled to  179
days of jail credit.  On November 24, 1998, the sheriff,  through
the Cuyahoga County  Prosecutor, moved to dismiss for failing  to
plead  his case  properly  and for  mootness.   Attached  to  the
dispositive motion, which this court considers a motion for summary
judgment,  are three  letters from  the sheriff  to the  Trumbull
Correctional Institution, stating the number of days Mr. Dissette
spent in jail  relating to various cases.   The lowest figure  on
these letters is 179 days.  Mr. Dissette never filed any opposition
to  the sheriff's  motion.   Accordingly, this  court grants  the
sheriff's dispositive motion; it is convinced that the sheriff has
fulfilled his duty to send to the prison a statement of the number
of days  Mr. Dissette  spent in  jail.   To the  extent that  Mr.
Dissette is actually disputing the number of days, his remedy is to
appeal the trial court's order specifying the number of days spent
in jail.  State ex rel.  Jones v. O'Conner (1998), 84 Ohio  St.3d
426.
     Additionally, the relator failed to support his complaint with
an affidavit  specifying the details of the claim  as required by
Local Rule 45(B)(1)(a).  State ex rel. Wilson v. Calabrese  (Jan.
18, 1996), Cuyahoga App. No. 70077, unreported and State ex  rel.
Smith  v. McMonagle  (July 17,  1996), Cuyahoga  App. No.  70899,
                               -3-
unreported.
     Accordingly, the court  grants the respondent's  dispositive
motion and denies the writ.  Costs assessed against the relator.
