Syllabus

Procedendo; R.C. 2969.25(A) and (C); vain act. Relator seeks a writ of procedendo in order to require the respondent judge to render rulings with regard to pending motions for leave to file motions for new trial. Initially, we find that the relator has failed to comply with the mandatory requirements of R.C. 2969.25(A) and (C). In addition, a review of the docket, in the relator's two criminal cases, fails to disclose that any motions for leave to file motions for new trial were docketed. Finally, this court will not issue a writ of procedendo to compel a vain act.
