JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.:
     On February 25, 1999, the relator, William Givens, commenced
                               -2-
this procedendo  action  against the  respondent, Judge  Burt  W.
Griffin, to compel the judge to rule upon a  Motion for trial court
to  amend  and/or correct  clerical  errors  made  pertaining  to
sentence   which Mr. Givens  filed on November  16, 1998, in  the
underlying case, State of Ohio v. William Givens, Cuyahoga County
Common Pleas Court  Case No. CR-256787.   On March 25, 1999,  the
respondent,  through the  Cuyahoga County  Prosecutor, moved  for
summary judgment on the grounds of mootness.  On March 29,  1999,
the judge filed a supplement to the motion for summary  judgment.
Attached  to this supplement  was a copy  of a certified,  signed
journal entry,  file stamped March 12,  1999, in which the  judge
noted that Mr. Givens  correctly claims that the defendant was not
indicted and was not convicted of any offense containing a D.W.I.
specification, ***. The judge then ordered the clerk to amend the
certified copy of sentence  to reflect that the indictment as  it
pertains to Mr. Givens did not contain a D.W.I. specification.  Mr.
Givens never filed a reply.  It appears that Mr. Givens  received
his requested relief  to correct a clerical error.   Accordingly,
this procedendo action is moot.
     Additionally, the relator failed to support his complaint with
an affidavit  specifying the details of the claim  as required by
Local Rule 45(B)(1)(a).  State ex rel. Wilson v. Calabrese  (Jan.
18, 1996), Cuyahoga App. No. 70077, unreported and State ex  rel.
Smith  v. McMonagle  (July 17,  1996), Cuyahoga  App. No.  70899,
unreported.
     The court  dismisses this action  as moot.   Costs  assessed
                               -3-
against the relator.
