JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.
     Relator, Daryl Ledger, seeks a writ of mandamus in order  to
compel the respondent, the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas,
to render a ruling with regard to a  motion to vacate judgement and
withdraw guilty plea  as filed in the underlying case of State v.
Ledger, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case No. CR-349736.
The respondent has filed a motion for summary judgment.
     Attached to the respondent's motion for summary judgment is a
copy of a journal entry, as journalized on January 5, 1999, which
demonstrates disposition of the relator's motion to vacate judgment
and withdraw guilty plea.  The relator's request for mandamus  is
thus moot. State ex rel. Gantt v. Coleman (1983), 6 Ohio St.3d 5;
State ex rel. Jerningham v. Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas
(1996), 74 Ohio St.3d 278.
     Accordingly, we grant  the respondent's  motion for  summary
judgment.  Costs to relator.
     Writ denied.
