Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The petitioner pro se filed a petition entitled "Verified Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus."It is unaccompanied by any certified copies of the proceedings to which it refers.

This court has no original jurisdiction to issue writs of habeas corpus. Jones v. Dowd, Warden (1941), 219 Ind. 114, 37 N. E. 2d 68.
The petition is dismissed.
