Syllabus

Mandamus, petition for postconviction relief, moot. Relator has filed a complaint for a writ of mandamus through which he seeks an order that requires respondent to render a judgment and issue findings of fact and conclusions of law with regard to a petition for postconviction relief. Attached to respondent's motion for summary judgment is a copy of a judgment entry that demonstrates that a ruling was rendered with regard to relator's petition for postconviction relief. Thus, relator's request for a writ of mandamus is moot. Relief is unwarranted because mandamus will not compel the performance of a duty that has already been performed.
