Dissenting Opinion

Lundberg Stratton, J.,

dissenting. I respectfully dissent from the majority’s decision to dismiss the cause as moot. Rather, I would find that pursuant to R.C. 2949.05, the trial court had jurisdiction to execute its sentence. Therefore, I would reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and reinstate the judgment of the trial court.
