COLLEEN CONWAY COONEY, J.
     The relator, Royce Crim, has filed a complaint for a writ of
mandamus.   The relator  seeks  an order  from this  Court  which
requires the respondent, Judge Jose Villanueva, to issue  rulings
with regard to the following three motions that were filed in the
underlying case of State v. Crim, Cuyahoga County Court of Common
Pleas Case No. CR-272115: 1)  motion requesting the court to notice
plain error Crim.R. 52(B) ; 2)  motion for summary judgment Civil
Rule 56(C) ; and 3)  motion requesting adjudication on the August
30, 00 (sic) & September 19, 00 (sic) actions.   The respondent has
filed a motion for summary judgment.
     A  review  of  the  motion  for  summary  judgment   clearly
demonstrates that the respondent has issued rulings with regard to
the motion requesting notice of plain error, the motion for summary
judgment and  the  motion  requesting adjudication.    Thus,  the
relator's request for mandamus is 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 notice of this judgment to all parties as
provided in Civ.R. 58(B).  Costs to relator.
     Writ denied.
