On July 10, 1995, appellant, Tommie Jerninghan, Jr., filed a 
10 
complaint in mandamus in the Court of Appeals for Cuyahoga County, 
11 
alleging that his appeal in case No. CV265857 had been dismissed for lack 
12 
of a final order, and seeking to compel appellees to file a final order in the 
13 
case.  On July 25, 1995, appellees filed a motion to dismiss the complaint as 
14 
moot, attaching a copy of an order dismissing case No. CV265857.  On July 
15 
31, 1995, the court of appeals issued a journal entry dismissing the case. 
16 
 
Appellant appeals to this court as a matter of right.
