ATTORNEYS FOR RESPONDENT

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor

MARY J. BOYLE, J.:

       {¶1} Willis F. Williams has filed a complaint for a writ of procedendo. Williams seeks

an order from this court that requires Judge John D. Sutula to render rulings with regard to a

“motion for leave to file delayed motion for new trial pursuant to Ohio Criminal Rule 33(B)”

and a “motion for leave to file supplemental authority and to supplement the record instanter”
as filed in State v. Williams, Cuyahoga C.P. No. CR-048025.        Judge Sutula has filed a

motion for summary judgment, which is granted.

       {¶2} Williams’s request for a writ of procedendo is moot. Attached to

the motion for summary judgment is a copy of a judgment entry, as

journalized on October 17, 2012, which demonstrates that Williams’s “motion

for leave to file delayed motion for new trial pursuant to Ohio Criminal Rule 33(B)” and a

“motion for leave to file supplemental authority and to supplement the record instanter” were

denied. State ex rel. Jerninghan v. Cuyahoga Cty. Court of Common Pleas,

74 Ohio St.3d 278, 1996-Ohio-117, 658 N.E.2d 723; State ex rel. Snider v.

Stapleton, 65 Ohio St.3d 40, 600 N.E.2d 240 (1992); State ex rel. Richard v.

Wells, 64 Ohio St.3d 76, 591 N.E.2d 1240 (1992); State ex rel. Gantt v.

Coleman, 6 Ohio St.3d 5, 450 N.E.2d 1163 (1983).

       {¶3} Accordingly, we grant the motion for summary judgment. Judge

Sutula to pay costs. Costs ordered waived. The court directs the clerk of

the court to serve all parties with notice of this judgment and its date of entry

upon the journal as required by Civ.R. 58(B).

       {¶4} Writ denied.
