JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.
     Relator, Calvin Drake,  through his complaint for a writ  of
procedendo,  seeks  an  order  from  this  court  requiring   the
respondent, the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, to  render
judgments with regard to  motions to correct jail time credit  as
filed in the underlying cases of State v. Drake, Cuyahoga  County
Court  of Common Pleas  Case Nos. CR-351072  and CR-355853.   The
respondent has filed a motion for summary judgment.
     A writ of procedendo is appropriate when a court has  either
refused  to  render  a  judgment  or  has  unnecessarily  delayed
proceeding to judgment. State ex rel. Doe v. Tracy (1988), 51 Ohio
App.3d 198; citing State ex rel. Wallace v. Tyack (1984), 13 Ohio
St.3d 4. Attached to the respondent's motion for summary judgment
are copies of the dockets as maintained in Case Nos. CR-351072 and
CR-355853. A review of the aforesaid dockets clearly demonstrates
that the relator has not filed any motions for correction of jail
time credit and further demonstrates that there exist no  pending
motions for correction of jail time credit in Case Nos. CR-351072
and CR-355853.  Thus, the respondent possesses no duty to proceed
to judgment.   State  ex rel. Watkins  v. Eighth  Dist. Court  of
Appeals (1998), 82 Ohio St.3d 532; State ex rel. Crandall, Pheils
& Wisniewski v. DeCessna (1995), 73 Ohio St.3d 180.  In addition,
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,
                               -3-
unreported; State ex rel. Spates v. Judge Sweeney (Apr. 17, 1997),
Cuyahoga App. No. 71986, unreported.
     This court possesses the inherent power to revoke an inmate's
in forma pauperis status, with respect to original actions brought
in the court of appeals, where the inmate has abused the judicial
process by repeatedly  filing frivolous and vexatious  pleadings.
Karmasu v. Wilkinson (1996),  115 Ohio App.3d 737; State ex  rel.
Richard v. Cuyahoga Cty.  Bd. Of Commrs. (1995), 100 Ohio  App.3d
592. In the case sub judice, the relator's complaint for a writ of
procedendo clearly fails  to set forth any cognizable claim  that
would entitle the realtor to relief.  The realtor's complaint for
a writ of procedendo was indeed frivolous.  Accordingly, this court
warns the relator that the filing of any other original action that
is found to  be frivolous shall result  in the revocation of  the
relator's in forma pauperis status.
     Accordingly, we grant  the respondent's  motion for  summary
judgment.  Costs to relator.
     Writ denied.
