THE STATE EX REL. ROSE, APPELLANT, v. MCGINTY, JUDGE, APPELLEE.

No. 2009-0464

Supreme Court of Ohio

Submitted August 11, 2009—Decided August 18, 2009

123 Ohio St.3d 86, 2009-Ohio-4050

Per Curiam.

{11} This is an appeal from a judgment of the court of appeals denying a petition filed by appellant, Floyd Rose, for writs of procedendo and mandamus.

{12} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals because Rose does not challenge all of the independent reasons given by that court to deny the writs. State ex rel. Schmidt v. School Emps. Retirement Sys., 100 Ohio St.3d 317, 2003-Ohio-6086, 798 N.E.2d 1088, ¶ 5; Stewart v. Corrigan, 97 Ohio St.3d 80, 2002-Ohio-5316, 776 N.E.2d 103, ¶ 4. That is, Rose does not contest the propriety of the court of appeals’ denial of the writs based on his failure to comply with Loc.App.R. 45(B)(1) of the Eighth District Court of Appeals. Moreover, Judge McGinty has now ruled on Rose‘s August 8, 2008 motion in Cuyahoga C.P. case No. CR-07-492008-B. “Neither procedendo nor mandamus will compel the performance of a duty that has already been performed.” State ex rel. Kreps v. Christiansen (2000), 88 Ohio St.3d 313, 318, 725 N.E.2d 663.

Judgment affirmed.

Floyd Rose, pro se.
