Opinion

ORIGINAL ACTION JOURNAL ENTRY AND OPINION {¶ 1} Marvin L. Fisher has filed a complaint for a writ of mandamus. Fisher seeks an order from this court which requires Judge John Sutula to render a ruling with regard to a "motion for judicial release" that was filed on August 26, 2004, in the underlying action of State v. Fisher, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case No. CR-429031. Judge Sutula has filed a motion to dismiss.

{¶ 2} Attached to Judge Sutula's motion to dismiss is a copy of a judgment entry, as journalized on July 6, 2005, which demonstrates a ruling has been issued with regard to Fisher's "motion for judicial release." Accordingly, Fisher's request for a writ of mandamus is moot. State ex rel. Jerningham v. CuyahogaCounty Court of Common Pleas (1996), 74 Ohio St.3d 278,658 N.E.2d 723; State ex rel. Gantt v.
