ANN DYKE, A.J.:
     Relator requests that this court compel respondent judge  to
                               -2-
issue a ruling on  the motion for new  trial filed by relator  in
State v. Cassidy, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case Nos.
CR-182855 and 186634 on July 22, 1999.
     Respondent has  filed a motion  to dismiss  and for  summary
judgment attached to which is a copy of the journal entry denying
the motion for new trial and received for filing by the clerk  on
December 22, 1999. Relator has not opposed the motion.  Respondent
argues that  this action in procedendo  is, therefore, moot.   We
agree.
     We also note that relator requested the same relief in State
ex rel. Cassidy v. Villanueva (Jan. 27, 2000), Cuyahoga App.  No.
77360, unreported.  Any additional redundant or frivolous actions
by relator will result in sanctions.
     Accordingly, respondent's motion to dismiss and for  summary
judgment is granted.  Relator to pay costs.
     Writ denied.
TERRENCE O'DONNELL, J., CONCURS.
                              ANN DYKE, ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE
