JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.
     Jerry Moore, relator, filed a complaint for a writ of mandamus
to compel respondent, Judge Bridget McCafferty, to rule on various
motions and/or petitions for postconviction relief filed in  C.P.
Case  No.  CR-227207  in  January,  February  and  April,   1999.
Respondent moved for summary judgment based on mootness, which is
unopposed, and attached certified copies of journal entries dated
August 20, 1999 denying relator's motion for reconsideration of the
denial of postconviction relief and denying relator's motion for an
evidentiary hearing. Respondent also submitted a certified copy of
findings of fact and conclusions of law that were issued on  July
28, 1998.   Since the relief  requested has been performed,  this
action is moot.  A writ of mandamus cannot be issued to compel an
act already performed. State ex rel. Jerningham v. Cuyahoga County
Court of Common Pleas (1996), 74 Ohio St.3d 278, 658 N.E.2d  723.
Accordingly, respondent's motion for summary judgment is granted.
     Writ denied.  Costs to relator.
