JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.
     Michael P. Sneed, relator, is seeking a writ of mandamus  to
compel respondent, Judge Nancy Russo, to prepare findings of fact
and conclusions of  law for a petition for postconviction  relief
that was  filed on April  13, 1998, in  C.P. Case No.  CR-353104.
Respondent moved  for  summary  judgment based  on  mootness  and
attached a copy of the requested findings that were filed on March
15, 1999. Accordingly, respondent's motion for summary judgment is
granted since this action is now moot.  Costs to respondent.
