LUNDBERG STRATTON, J., dissenting.  I respectfully dissent from the 
majority’s decision to dismiss the cause as moot.  Rather, I would find that 
pursuant to R.C. 2949.05, the trial court had jurisdiction to execute its sentence.  
Therefore, I would reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and reinstate the 
judgment of the trial court.
