NO. 75771 (Ohio Ct. App. Feb. 11, 1999)

Opinion

NO. 75771

February 11, 1999

JUDGMENT:

WRIT DENIED.

APPEARANCES:

For relator:

ALPRENTICE PINKNEY, pro se.

For respondent:

WILLIAM D. MASON, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor; LISA REITZ WILLIAMSON, Assistant.


Relator, Alprentice Pinkney, seeks a writ of mandamus in order to compel the respondent, the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, to grant pre-conviction jail time credit in the underlying case of State v. Pinkney, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case No. CR-312605. The respondent has filed a motion for summary judgment.

Attached to the respondent's motion for summary judgment is a copy of a judgment entry, as journalized on January 25, 1999, which demonstrates that the relator's motions for pre-conviction jail time credit were granted in the amount of one hundred and three (103) days. The respondent has fulfilled the required duty to grant the relator credit for pre-conviction incarceration. Thus, the relator's request for mandamus is moot. State ex rel. Gantt v. Coleman (1983), 6 Ohio St.3d 5; State ex rel. Jerningham v. Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas (1996), 74 Ohio St.3d 278.

Accordingly, we grant the respondent's motion for summary judgment. Costs to relator.

Writ denied.
