ANN DYKE, A.J.:
     Relator requests that this court compel respondent judge  to
grant jail time credit in State v. Bauldwin, Cuyahoga County Court
of Common Pleas Case No. CR-372087.  Attached to the complaint is
a copy of a journal entry in Case No. CR-372087 which states,  in
part:   Amended motion for  additional jail  time credit  denied.
Defendant was given 1 day jail time credit as of February 29, 2000.
Defendant denied credit for his stay in Harbor Light.
     Respondent has  filed a motion  to dismiss  and argues  that
relator has (or  had) an adequate  remedy by way  of appeal.   We
agree.
     Relator's claim in Case No. CR-372087 that he is entitled to
jail time credit for his confinement  pursuant to a court order to
Harbor Light a halfway house used by the court system,  Complaint
at 1, is analogous to that in State ex rel. Williams v.  Court of
Common Pleas (May 20, 1999), Cuyahoga App. No. 76021, unreported.
In Williams, the relator contended that R.C. 2945.71(E)  required
that he receive three days jail time credit for each day in jail.
That is,  Williams disputed the number  of days jail time  credit
granted by the respondent court.   Any errors associated with the
calculation of jail time credit must be addressed through a direct
appeal.     State ex  rel. Nash  v. Villanueva  (Jan. 28,  1999),
Cuyahoga App. No. 75645, unreported (citations deleted).  Likewise,
relator in this action disputes the total number of days of  jail
time credit.  Appeal is (or was), therefore, an adequate remedy.
     Accordingly, respondent's  motion  to  dismiss  is  granted.
Relator to pay costs.
     Writ dismissed.
