KATHLEEN ANN KEOUGH, J.:
{¶1} Relator, Ronald Willis, requests that this court compel respondent judge to
rule on his motion for jail-time credit filed in State v. Willis, Cuyahoga C.P. Nos.
CR-493477, CR-494145, and CR-517491 on July 11, 2011.
{¶2} Respondent has filed a motion for summary judgment attached to which are
copies of journal entries issued by respondent and received for filing by the clerk on
January 13, 2012 in which respondent granted relator a total of 90 days jail-time credit.
Willis has opposed the motion and challenges the number of days jail-time credit.
{¶3} Respondent argues that this action in mandamus is moot. We agree.
Willis has or had an adequate remedy by way of appeal to challenge the number of days.
See, e.g., State ex rel. Menefee v. Burnside, 8th Dist. No. 95747, 2010-Ohio-6034.
{¶4} Accordingly, respondent’s motion for summary judgment is granted.
Relator to pay costs. The clerk is directed to serve upon the parties notice of this
judgment and its date of entry upon the journal. Civ.R. 58(B).
{¶5} Writ denied.
