[Cite as State ex rel. Lathan v. Jensen, 2007-Ohio-2536.] IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT LUCAS COUNTY State of Ohio, ex rel. Darek Lathan Court of Appeals No. L-07-1112 Relator v. Honorable James Jensen DECISION AND JUDGMENT ENTRY Respondent Decided: May 18, 2007 ***** Darek Lathan, pro se. Julia R. Bates, Lucas County Prosecuting Attorney, and John A. Borell, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellee. ***** OSOWIK, J. {¶ 1} This matter is pending before the court on a motion to dismiss filed by respondent, in response to an alternative writ issued by this court to respondent on April 20, 2007. {¶ 2} On April 2, 2007, relator filed a petition for a writ of procedendo requesting a court order directing respondent to compel the "bureau of sentence computation" to remove three years from relator's sentence which he argues are in excess of the actual sentence imposed by the trial court. {¶ 3} On April 9, 2007, respondent issued an order denying relator's motion to compel the "bureau of sentence computation" to delete three years from relator's sentence. In support of its denial of relator's motion, the respondent noted that relator was convicted of aggravated robbery with a firearm specification in case No. CR98-2941. The mandatory three year term of incarceration for that firearm specification was ordered to run consecutive to relator's sentence in case No. CR03-1194, which did not include a firearm specification. Accordingly, the trial court denied relator's motion to compel. {¶ 4} We find relator's petition for writ of procedendo moot in light of the trial court order disposing of the issues underlying same dated April 9, 2007. {¶ 5} Wherefore, we find respondent's motion to dismiss well-taken and hereby grant same. Relator is hereby ordered to pay the costs. It is so ordered. MOTION GRANTED. Mark L. Pietrykowski, P.J. _______________________________ JUDGE Arlene Singer, J. Thomas J. Osowik, J.
