Syllabus

Petition for writ of mandamus; dismissal; sua sponte; jail-time credit; moot; adequate remedy at law. Petition for writ of mandamus dismissed, sua sponte, where trial court had already awarded relator jail-time credit in sentencing journal entry and had already ruled on all motions for jail-time credit before relator filed his petition, such that to the extent relator sought to compel a ruling on his motions for jail-time credit, his petition was moot. Further, alleged errors regarding jail-time credit are not cognizable in mandamus because relator has or had an adequate remedy at law to address the issue.
