DYKE, P.J.:
     Relator, Gregory Pfahl, has filed a complaint for a writ  of
procedendo.   The relator  seeks an order  from this court  which
requires the respondent, the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas,
to issue a  ruling with regard to  a motion for judicial  release
which was filed in the underlying case of State v. Pfahl, Cuyahoga
County Court of Common Pleas Case No. CR-224421.  The  respondent
has filed a motion for summary judgment.
     Attached to the respondent's motion for summary judgment is a
copy of a judgment entry,  as journalized on June 5, 2000,  which
denied the relator's motion for judicial release.  The  relator's
request for a writ of procedendo 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.
KENNETH A. ROCCO, J.         AND
MICHAEL J. CORRIGAN, J., CONCUR.
