JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.:
     Relator requests that this court compel respondent judge  to
grant jail time credit in State v. Williams, Cuyahoga County Court
                               -2-
of Common Pleas Case No. CR-350728.
     Respondent has filed a motion for summary judgment attached to
which  is a  copy of  a journal  entry issued  by respondent  and
received for  filing by the  clerk on January  28, 1999 in  which
respondent granted relator 78 days jail time credit.   Respondent
argues that this action in mandamus is, therefore, moot.  We agree.
     Relator contends, however, that R.C. 2945.71(E) requires that
he receive three days jail time credit for each day in jail.  That
is, relator disputes the number of days jail time credit granted by
respondent court.   Any errors associated with the calculation of
jail time credit must be addressed through a direct appeal.   State
ex rel.  Nash v.  Villanueva (Jan. 28,  1999), Cuyahoga App.  No.
75645, unreported (citations deleted).
     Accordingly, respondent's  motion  for summary  judgment  is
granted.  Relator to pay costs.  Writ denied.
