                 APPEAL from the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas,
                             Division of Domestic Relations

BEATTY BLUNT, P.J.

        {¶ 1} Plaintiff-appellant, Chad N. Woodford, appeals the May 15, 2021 decision of

the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, Division of Domestic Relations ordering the

trial record and shared parenting decree issued on July 6, 2020 in this case to be

supplemented with a child support worksheet pursuant to Civ.R. 60(A). Appellant argues

that the trial court erred by supplementing the trial record with a child support worksheet

as the case was already under appeal.

        {¶ 2} On the date that the trial court issued its order, this court had before it

appellant’s separate appeal in Woodford v. Woodford, 10th Dist. No. 20AP-377, 2022-
No. 21AP-256                                                                                2

Ohio-3656 ("Woodford I"), in which the appellant had asserted that the trial court erred by

failing to include a child support worksheet in the record. On October 13, 2022, we issued

our decision in Woodford I, and held that the trial court erred by failing to attach a copy of

the child support worksheet to its shared parenting decree. Id. at ¶ 23-27. We reversed the

trial court’s decision and remanded the case with the instruction to "review the award and

deviation, along with the child support worksheet previously relied upon, and determine

whether the award comports with the calculations therein; if it does, it should reenter its

prior judgment and make the worksheet used part of the record of the case." Id. at ¶ 28.

We also observed that our decision in Woodford I had "the likely effect of mooting the

appeal presented" in this case. Id. at ¶ 28, fn. 2.

       {¶ 3} On review, we conclude that our decision in Woodford I has already

determined the issues raised in this cause. We therefore dismiss this appeal as moot.

                                                                          Appeal dismissed.
