ANNE L. KILBANE, J.:
     Sua  sponte, we  dismiss the  above-captioned habeas  corpus
action  as moot.   The  response of  the Sheriff  states that  he
                               -2-
released  Carla Cornecelli  on June  26, 2002,  pursuant to  this
court's order.  Moreover, a review of the docket of the underlying
case,  reveals that  the  case  was settled  and  dismissed  with
prejudice at defendant's costs Ricardo Montalvo v. Giovanna Oravec
(June 28, 2002), Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Case No. CV01431117.
That appears to render the underlying contempt matter moot as well.
     This habeas corpus  action is dismissed.  Respondent to  pay
costs.
     The clerk is directed to serve upon the parties notice of this
judgment and its date of entry upon the journal. Civ.R. 58(B).
