PATRICIA ANN BLACKMON, J.:
     Relators, Robert  Cooper  and  Diana Cooper,  have  filed  a
complaint for a writ of prohibition.  The relators are attempting
to prevent the respondent, Judge Peggy Foley Jones, from exercising
jurisdiction in  the underlying case  of Harold  Cooper v.  David
Cooper,  et al, Cuyahoga  County Court of  Common Pleas Case  No.
399546.  The respondent has filed a motion to dismiss.
     Attached to the respondent's motion to dismiss is a copy of a
journal  entry,  as  journalized  on  December  7,  2000,   which
demonstrates dismissal of the  underlying action.  The  realtors'
request for a writ of prohibition is thus moot.  Cf. State ex rel.
Snider v. Stapelton (1992), 65 Ohio St.3d 40; State ex rel. Richard
v. Wells (1992), 64 Ohio St.3d 76.
     Accordingly, we grant  the respondent's  motion to  dismiss.
Alternative writ  of  prohibition, as  issued  by this  court  on
November 28, 2000, and modified on December 6, 2000, is  vacated.
Parties to share costs.
     Complaint dismissed.
MICHAEL J. CORRIGAN, P.J., and
ANNE L. KILBANE, J., CONCUR.
