O R D E R
This 21st day of September 2001, upon consideration of Clive A.
Heron’s original petition for a writ of habeas corpus and the State of
Delaware’s answer and motion to dismiss the petition, it appears to the 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the State’s motion to
dismiss is GRANTED.  Heron’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus is
DISMISSED.
BY THE COURT;
