KATHLEEN ANN KEOUGH, J.:

       {¶1} Timothy Pettway has filed a complaint for a writ of procedendo. Pettway

seeks an order from this court, that requires Judge Deena Calabrese and the Cuyahoga

County Court of Common Pleas to render a ruling with regard to a “motion to vacate void

judgment” as filed in State v. Pettway, Cuyahoga C.P. No. CR-498474.

       {¶2} Attached to the motion for summary judgment filed by Judge Calabrese and

the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, is a copy of a judgment entry, journalized

on December 19, 2012, which demonstrates that a ruling has been rendered with regard to

Pettway’s motion to vacate void judgment. Thus, Pettway’s complaint for a writ of

procedendo is moot.      State v. Jerninghan, 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).

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

and the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas to pay costs. Costs waived. The

court directs the clerk of 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.
