Ohio Court of Appeals · Decided February 11, 1999 · JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.

State v. Cuyahoga County, Unpublished Decision (2-11-1999)

Opinion of the Court

Relator, Alprentice Pinkney, seeks a writ of mandamus in order to compel the respondent, the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, to grant pre-conviction jail time credit in the underlying case of State v. Pinkney, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case No. CR-312605. 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 January 25, 1999, which demonstrates that the relator's motions for pre-conviction jail time credit were granted in the amount of one hundred and three (103) days. The respondent has fulfilled the required duty to grant the relator credit for pre-conviction incarceration. 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 ofCommon Pleas (1996), 74 Ohio St.3d 278.

Accordingly, we grant the respondent's motion for summary judgment. Costs to relator.

Writ denied.
