Relator, Royce W. Crim, through his petition for a writ of procedendo, seeks an order from this court requiring the respondent, Judge Jose Villanueva, to render rulings with regard to a "petition seeking termination of sentence pursuant to [R.C.] 5145.01 for want of subject matter jurisdiction" and a "motion for judgement (sic) on the pleading[s] Civil Rule 12(c) (sic) and stay of judgement (sic)" as filed in the underlying case of State v. Crim, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case No. CR-272115. The respondent has filed a motion for summary judgment.

Attached to the motion for summary judgment is a copy of a journal entry, as journalized on December 2, 1998, which demonstrates that the respondent has rendered rulings with regard to the relator's motions as filed in CR-272115. The relator's petition for a writ of procedendo is thus moot.State ex rel. Gantt v. Coleman (1983), 6 Ohio St.3d 5; State exrel. Jerningham v. Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas (1996), 74 Ohio St.3d 278.

Accordingly, the respondent's motion for summary judgment is granted. Costs to respondent.

Writ denied.
