{¶1} Timothy Pettway has filed a complaint for a writ of procedendo. Pettway
seeks an order from this court, that requires Judge Deena Calabrese and the Cuyahoga

judgment” as filed in State v. Pettway, Cuyahoga C.P. No. CR-498474.
{¶2} Attached to the motion for summary judgment filed by Judge Calabrese and
the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, is a copy of a judgment entry, journalized
on December 19, 2012, which demonstrates that a ruling has been rendered with regard to
Pettway’s motion to vacate void judgment. Thus, Pettway’s complaint for a writ of
procedendo is moot. State v. Jerninghan,

450 N.E.2d 1163(1983).
{¶3} Accordingly, we grant the motion for summary judgment. Judge Calabrese
