JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.:
     On March 17, 1999, the relator, James Standberry,  commenced
this  mandamus action  to compel  the respondent  judge to  issue
findings of fact and conclusions of law for a postconviction relief
petition, which  Mr. Standberry  on May  12, 1995,  filed in  the
underlying case, State of Ohio v. James Standberry, Cuyahoga County
Common Pleas  Court Case  No. CR-317641.   On May  13, 1999,  the
respondent,  through the  Cuyahoga County  Prosecutor, moved  for
summary  judgment on the  grounds of mootness.   Attached to  the
dispositive motion  was a copy of  a certified, signed and  file-
stamped May 4, 1999 journal entry containing the requisite findings
of fact and conclusions of law for Mr. Standberry's petition.   A
review  of the  postconviction  petition establishes  that  these
findings of fact and conclusions of law fairly meet the claims Mr.
Standberry argued.  This attachment establishes that the judge has
fulfilled her duty to issue the findings of fact and conclusions of
law and that Mr. Standberry has received his requested relief,  a
resolution of his postconviction petition.
     Accordingly, the motion for summary judgment is granted, and
this writ action is dismissed.  Respondent to pay costs.
