Box 5600 Cleveland, Ohio 44101 ATTORNEYS FOR RESPONDENTS William D. Mason Cuyahoga County Prosecutor James E. Moss Assistant Prosecuting Attorney The Justice Center 1200 Ontario Street Cleveland, Ohio 44113 FRANK D. CELEBREZZE, JR., J.: {¶ 1} Victor Bobo has filed a complaint for a writ of mandamus. Bobo seeks an order from this court, which requires Judge Nancy McDonnell to render a ruling with regard to a motion for jail-time credit as filed in the criminal case of State v. Bobo, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case No. CR-544152. Bobo also seeks an order that requires the Cuyahoga County Sheriff to provide him with additional jail-time credit in the amount of ten days. {¶ 2} Attached to the joint motion for summary judgment, as filed by Judge McDonnell and the Cuyahoga County Sheriff, is a copy of a journal entry, as journalized on October 21, 2011, which demonstrates that Bobo has been granted an additional ten days of jail-time credit for a total of 212 days of jail-time credit. Bobo’s request for mandamus is thus 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.
