SEAN C. GALLAGHER, J.:

      {¶1} Joseph C. Sun has filed a complaint for a writ of mandamus. Sun seeks an

order from this court that requires the Lyndhurst Municipal Court to grant a trial by jury

with regard to a pending traffic citation. The Lyndhurst Municipal Court has filed a

motion to dismiss, which we grant.

      {¶2} Attached to the motion to dismiss is a copy of a judgment entry, journalized

on September 18, 2013, which demonstrates that the traffic citation has been dismissed.

Thus, Sun’s complaint for a writ of mandamus is moot. 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 the Lyndhurst Municipal Court’s motion to dismiss.

Costs to the Lyndhurst Municipal Court. Costs waived. 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).

      {¶4} Complaint dismissed.
