ANN DYKE, A.J.:
     Relator, Lamont Arnold, seeks a writ of mandamus in order to
compel the respondent, Judge Thomas J. Pokorny, to issue findings
of fact and conclusions of law with regard to a petition for post-
conviction relief that was filed in the underlying case of State v.
Arnold, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case No. CR-315763.
The respondent has filed a motion for summary judgment.
     Attached to the respondent's motion for summary judgment is a
copy of findings of fact and conclusions of law  as journalized on
April 3, 2000.  The relator's  request for a writ of mandamus  is
thus moot. State ex rel. Gantt v. Coleman (1983), 6 Ohio St.3d 5;
State ex rel. Jerningham v. Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas
(1996), 74 Ohio St.3d 278.
     Accordingly, the respondent's motion for summary judgment is
granted.  Costs to respondent.
     Writ denied.
