Gwin, P.J.
{¶1} On July 2, 2019, Jimmie L. Washington filed a petition for Writ of Habeas
Corpus on the basis that the Summit County Common Pleas Court’s sentencing entry
dated August 31, 2016 failed to properly advise him of post-release control. Mr.
Washington also filed an Alternative Writ of Prohibition on August 22, 2019 setting forth
the same argument. However, Mr. Washington conceded in his Alternative Writ of
Prohibition that he was scheduled to be released from prison on August 26, 2019, and
that if the Court did not render a decision before his release date, both writs would be
moot.
{¶2} The Court reviewed the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction’s
website (https://appgateway.drc.ohio.gov/OffenderSearch/Search/Details/A690456) and
confirmed that Mr. Washington was released from the Mansfield Correctional Institution
on August 26, 2019. Therefore, Mr. Washington’s Writ of Habeas Corpus and Alternative
Writ of Prohibition are dismissed as moot.
