JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.
     Relator, Carlos Smith, has  filed a complaint for a writ  of
mandamus through which he seeks an order requiring respondent, the
Cuyahoga County Court of  Common Pleas, to correct the amount  of
jail time credit as originally granted in the underlying cases of
State v. Smith, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case Nos. CR-
355493 and  CR-357014.   The  respondent has  filed a  motion  to
dismiss.
     This Court  will not issue  a writ of  mandamus in order  to
correct errors associated with the calculation of jail time credit.
Any errors associated with the calculation of jail time credit must
be addressed through a direct  appeal.  State ex rel. Britton  v.
Judge  Foley-Jones  (Mar. 5,  1998),  Cuyahoga  App.  No.  73464,
unreported; State ex rel. Spates v. Judge Sweeney (Apr. 17, 1997),
Cuyahoga App. No. 71986, unreported.  Accordingly, the respondent's
motion to dismiss is granted.  Costs to relator.
     Writ dismissed.
