ATTORNEYS FOR RESPONDENT Timothy J. McGinty Cuyahoga County Prosecutor By: James E. Moss Assistant County Prosecutor The Justice Center 1200 Ontario Street Cleveland, Ohio 44113 FRANK D. CELEBREZZE, JR., J.: {¶1} On April 25, 2013, the relator, Eddie Dudley, commenced this mandamus action against the respondent, Judge Brendan J. Sheehan, to compel him to rule on Dudley’s motions for a monthly installment plan, filed on December 14, 2012, in the underlying cases, State v. Dudley, Cuyahoga C.P. Nos. CR-500587, CR-500881, CR-530921, and CR-532408. On May 9, 2013, the respondent moved for summary judgment on the grounds of mootness. Attached to the dispositive motion were certified copies of April 29, 2013 journal entries denying Dudley’s subject motions in each of the underlying cases. Dudley did not oppose the summary judgment motion. The journal entries establish that Dudley has received his requested relief, rulings on his motions.

This action is therefore moot.

{¶2} Accordingly, the court grants the respondent’s motion for summary judgment and denies the application for a writ of mandamus. Respondent to pay costs; costs waived. 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).

{¶3} Writ denied.
