Columbus, OH 43215 Gwin, P.J.
{¶1} On July 2, 2019, Jimmie L. Washington filed a petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus on the basis that the Summit County Common Pleas Court's sentencing entry dated August 31, 2016 failed to properly advise him of post-release control. Mr. Washington also filed an Alternative Writ of Prohibition on August 22, 2019 setting forth the same argument. However, Mr. Washington conceded in his Alternative Writ of Prohibition that he was scheduled to be released from prison on August 26, 2019, and that if the Court did not render a decision before his release date, both writs would be moot.
{¶2} The Court reviewed the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction's website (https://appgateway.drc.ohio.gov/OffenderSearch/Search/Details/A690456) and confirmed that Mr. Washington was released from the Mansfield Correctional Institution on August 26, 2019. Therefore, Mr. Washington's Writ of Habeas Corpus and Alternative Writ of Prohibition are dismissed as moot.
{¶3} The clerk of courts is hereby directed to serve upon all parties not in default notice of this judgment and its date of entry upon the journal. See Civ.R. 58(B). By Gwin, P.J., Hoffman, J., and Wise, John, J., concur
