JAMES J. SWEENEY, J.:
     Relator, Roland Bluford, has filed a complaint for a writ of
mandamus which requires the respondent, Judge Eileen A. Gallagher,
to issue findings of fact and conclusions of law with regard to a
petition  for  post-conviction  relief  that  was  filed  in  the
underlying case  of State v.  Bluford, Cuyahoga  County Court  of
Common Pleas Case No. CR-360788.  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 February 21,  2001,
which contains findings of fact and conclusions of law and denies
the relator's  petition for  post-conviction relief.   Thus,  the
relator's complaint for a writ of mandamus is moot.  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 for  summary
judgment. Clerk to serve notice of this judgment to all parties as
provided in Civ.R. 58(B).  Costs to respondent.
     Writ denied.
ANNE L. KILBANE, P.J., and
ANNE DYKE, J., CONCUR.
