ANN DYKE, A.J.:
     Matthew Williams, relator,  filed a petition  for a writ  of
mandamus to compel respondent, Judge Steven J. (sic) Celebrezze, to
issue findings of fact and conclusions of law for the denial of his
petition  for postconviction relief  and to issue  a ruling on  a
Civ.R. 60(B) Motion for Relief From Judgment filed in C.P. Case No.
CR-351208.  Respondent, Judge Frank D. Celebrezze, Jr., moved for
summary judgment and attached a file-stamped copy of the requested
findings, which were filed in C.P. Case No. CR-351208 on May  24,
2000.   On  July 10,  2000, respondent  supplemented his  summary
judgment motion with a file-stamped copy of a journal entry wherein
respondent denied relator's Civ.R. 60(B) motion on July 6,  2000.
This action  is now  moot  since the  requested relief  has  been
performed.  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 respondent.
