                               -2-
     Relator, Carlos Brown, has  filed a complaint for a writ  of
mandamus.   The relator  seeks  an order  from this  court  which
requires the respondent, the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas,
to render a ruling with regard to a motion to vacate plea as filed
in the underlying cases of State v. Brown, Cuyahoga County Court of
Common Pleas Case Nos. CR-035914 and CR-036608.  The respondent has
filed a motion for summary judgment.
     Attached to the respondent's motion for summary judgment is a
copy of the findings of fact and conclusions of law, as journalized
on December 14, 2000, which denied the relator's motion to vacate
plea.  The relator's request for 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, we grant  the respondent's  motion for  summary
judgment.  Clerk to serve  notices to all parties as provided  in
Civ.R. 58(B).  Costs to relator.
     Writ denied.
