Decided April 7, 2010.)
. The late Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer participated in the deliberations in, and the final resolution of, this case prior to his death.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
{¶ 1} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing the petition of appellant, Edward B. Avery Sr., for a writ of mandamus to compel appellee, Union County Court of Common Pleas, to grant his pending motion by causing his sentencing entry to "speak the truth." "[M]andamus will not lie to control judicial discretion, even if that discretion is abused." State ex rel. Dreamer v. Mason, 115 Ohio St.3d 190, 2007-Ohio-4789, 874 N.E.2d 510, ¶ 12. Therefore, mandamus will not issue to compel the common pleas court to enter a specific judgment on Avery's pending motion. State ex rel. Rashada v. Pianka, 112 Ohio St.3d 44, 2006-Ohio-6366, 857 N.E.2d 1220, ¶ 3.
Edward B. Avery Sr., pro se.
Judgment affirmed.
Moyer, C.J., and Pfeifer, Lundberg Stratton, O'Connor, O'Donnell, Lanzinger, and Cupp, JJ., concur.
