MARY EILEEN KILBANE, J.:
 
    Roland Bluford seeks a writ of mandamus to compel Judge Eileen
 
Gallagher to issue findings of fact and conclusions of law with
 
regard to a petition for postconviction relief that was filed in
 
the underlying case of State v. Bluford, Cuyahoga County Court of
 
Common Pleas Case No. CR-360788. Judge Gallagher has filed a
 
motion for summary judgment.
 
    Attached to Judge Gallagher's motion for summary judgment is
 
a copy of findings of fact and conclusions of law, journalized on
 
June 13, 2005, filed in Case No. CR-360788. This action is now
 
moot. State ex rel. Jerninghan v. Cuyahoga County Court of Common
 
Pleas (1996), 74 Ohio St.3d 278, 658 N.E.2d 723; State ex rel.
 
Gantt v. Coleman (1983), 6 Ohio St.3d 5, 450 N.E.2d 1163.
 
    Accordingly, Judge Gallagher's motion for summary judgment is
 
granted. Clerk to serve notices to all parties as provided in
 
Civ.R. 58(B). Costs to Judge Gallagher.
 
    Writ denied.
