ANN DYKE, A.J.:
     Relator avers that he is entitled to 254 days jail time credit
in State v. Wright, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case No.
CR-345918, 345839, 358136 and 359949.
     Respondent has  moved  for  summary judgment.    This  court
dismissed relator's request for relief in mandamus in State ex rel.
Wright v. Court of Common Pleas (Oct. 1, 1998), Cuyahoga App. No.
74968, unreported, in  which he requested  jail time credit  with
respect to the same underlying criminal cases.
     Respondent argues  that  res judicata  bars relief  in  this
action.  We agree.  Relator is requesting the same relief against
the same party arising out of the same facts and circumstances.
     Accordingly, respondent's  motion  for summary  judgment  is
granted.  Relator to pay costs.   The clerk is directed to  serve
upon the parties notice of this judgment and its date of entry upon
the journal.  Civ.R. 58(B).
     Writ denied.
