ATTORNEYS FOR RESPONDENT

Timothy J. McGinty
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor

Assistant County Prosecutor

Cleveland, OH 44113
MELODY J. STEWART, J.:

       {¶1} James Waver has filed a complaint for a writ of procedendo. Waver seeks

an order from this court that requires Judge Robert C. McClelland to render a ruling with

regard to a motion to correct jail-time credit filed in State v. Waver, Cuyahoga C.P. No.

CR-97-351032. We decline to issue a writ of procedendo on behalf of Waver.

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

McClelland’s motion for summary judgment is a copy of a journal entry, journalized on

July 22, 2014, which demonstrates that a ruling has been rendered with regard to the

motion to correct jail-time credit. Thus, Waver is not entitled to a writ of procedendo.

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).

       {¶3} Accordingly, we grant Judge McClelland’s motion for summary judgment.

Costs to Judge McClelland. Costs waived. The court directs the clerk of courts 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.
