This 28th day of December 2000, upon consideration of Jearl T. Flowers’ original petition for a writ of habeas corpus and the State’s response thereto, it appears to this Court that the petition must be dismissed. This Court has no original jurisdiction to issue a writ of habeas corpus. In re Cantrell, Del. Supr., 678 A.2d 525, 526 (1996); Rocker v. State, Del. Supr., 240 A.2d 141, 142 (1968); 10 Del.C.. § 6901. Accordingly, the State’s motion to dismiss must be granted.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to dismiss is GRANTED. Flowers’ petition is hereby DISMISSED.
BY THE COURT:
