ANN DYKE, A.J.:
     James A. Gloeckner, relator, is seeking a writ of mandamus to
compel respondent, Judge Brian  Corrigan, to issue a ruling on  a
Motion to Withdraw Guilty Plea "filed in the Cuyahoga County Common
Pleas Court."   Respondent moved  for summary  judgment based  on
mootness and attached a file-stamped, certified copy of a journal
entry wherein respondent denied a Motion to Withdraw Guilty Plea on
November 8, 1999, in State v. Gloeckner, C.P. Case No. CR-273225.
Relator has not opposed respondent's motion.  This action is thus
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.
     Case dismissed.  Costs to respondent.
