Cuyahoga County Prosecutor

Cleveland, OH 44113

KENNETH A. ROCCO, J.:
       {¶1} James Bogan has filed a complaint for a writ of procedendo. Bogan seeks a

writ of procedendo in order to compel Judge David T. Matia to render a ruling with

regard to a “motion to withdraw plea pursuant to Criminal R. 32.1” filed in State v.

Bogan, Cuyahoga C.P. No. CR-396492. We decline to issue a writ of mandamus.

      {¶2} Initially, we find that Bogan’s complaint for a writ of procedendo is

defective. Bogan has failed to provide this court with a sworn affidavit, required by

Loc.App.R. 45(B)(1)(a), that specifies the details of the complaint. State ex rel. Mayes v.

Ambrose, 8th Dist. Cuyahoga No. 91980, 2009-Ohio-25; James v. Callahan, 8th Dist.

Cuyahoga No. 89654, 2007-Ohio-2237.

       {¶3} In addition, Bogan’s request for a writ of mandamus is moot. Attached to

Judge Matia’s motion for summary judgment is a copy of a judgment entry, journalized

on April 20, 2012, which demonstrates that Bogan’s motion to withdraw plea was denied.

 No additional action is required on the part of Judge Matia with regard to the motion to

withdraw plea. 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. Gantt v. Coleman, 6 Ohio

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

      {¶4} Accordingly, we grant Judge Matia’s motion for summary judgment. Costs to

Bogan. The court directs the clerk of court to serve all parties with notice of this

judgment and the date of entry upon the journal as required by Civ.R. 58(B).

      {¶5} Writ denied.
