ANN DYKE, A.J.:
     Relator requests that this court compel respondent judge  to
                               -2-
issue findings of fact and conclusions of law with respect to the
petition for postconviction  relief filed by relator in State  v.
White, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case No. CR-333432 on
or about March 12, 1998.
     Respondent has filed a motion for summary judgment attached to
which is a copy  of the findings of  fact and conclusions of  law
issued by respondent and received for filing by the clerk on June
6, 2000.  Relator has not opposed the motion.  Respondent  argues
that this action in mandamus is, therefore, moot.  We agree.
     Additionally, relator's affidavit accompanies the complaint.
Relator merely avers that he has read the foregoing Complaint, and
that the statements and averments therein contained are true as he
verily believes.
          A petition for a writ of mandamus "must contain the
     specific statements  of fact  upon which  the claim  of
     illegality is based and must be supported by an affidavit
     from the plaintiff or relator specifying the details of
     the claim.   Absent  such detail  and attachments,  the
     complaint  is  subject   to  dismissal."     Loc.App.R.
     45(B)(1)(a); State ex rel. Key v. Court of Common Pleas
     (Jan. 9, 1997), Cuyahoga App.  No. 71680, unreported.  In
     the case sub judice, relator has not set forth any facts
     in the petition which detail his claim. ***.  Relator has
     not supplied any facts  relating to his own  particular
     situation.
          Nor has relator set forth any facts which  specify
     the details of his claim in the affidavit attached to the
     petition.
State ex rel. Pecsi v.  Jones (Mar. 16, 2000), Cuyahoga App.  No.
77464, unreported, at 2-3.  Likewise, relator in this action  has
not specified the details of his claim.
     Accordingly, respondent's  motion  for summary  judgment  is
granted.  Respondent to pay costs.
                               -3-
     Writ denied.
