MARY J. BOYLE, J.:
{¶1} Fady Ikladious has filed a complaint for a writ of prohibition. Ikladious
seeks to prevent Judge Leslie A. Celebrezze from exercising jurisdiction in a divorce
action captioned Tadross v. Tadross, Cuyahoga Domestic Relations No. DR-14-350356.
Judge Celebrezze has filed a motion to dismiss, which we grant for the following reason.
{¶2} The complaint for a writ of prohibition is based upon the argument that a
pending appeal, filed in Tadross v. Ikladious, 8th Dist. Cuyahoga No. 102531, divested
Judge Celebrezze of jurisdiction to exercise judgment in the underlying divorce action.
However, on August 6, 2015, this court rendered an opinion and dismissed the appeal that
formed the basis of Ikladious’s argument to issue a writ of prohibition. See Tadross v.
Ikladious, 8th Dist. Cuyahoga No. 102531, 2015-Ohio-3147. Because no appeal
remains pending in this court, with regard to 8th Dist. Cuyahoga No. 102531, the request
for a writ of prohibition is moot. State ex rel. Fontanella v. Kontos, 117 Ohio St.3d 514,
2008-Ohio-1431, 885 N.E.2d 220; State ex rel. Reynolds v. Basinger, 99 Ohio St.3d 303,
2003-Ohio-3631, 791 N.E.2d 459.
{¶3} Accordingly, we grant Judge Celebrezze’s motion to dismiss. Costs to
Ikladious. The court directs the clerk of courts to serve all parties with notice of this
judgment and the date of entry upon the docket as required by Civ.R. 58(B).
{¶4} Complaint dismissed.
