This 6th day of March 2001, upon consideration of Jearl T. Flowers’ 
original petition for a writ of habeas corpus, 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.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Flowers' petition is hereby 
DISMISSED.
