October 12, 2001
O R D E R
This 12th day of October 2001, it appears to the Court that:
(1)
On August 24, 2001, the Clerk issued a notice to the petitioner,
Parris Wall, to show cause why this petition should not be dismissed for this
Court=s lack of jurisdiction to issue a writ of coram nobis.1  By letter dated
September 4, 2001, the Clerk granted Wall an extension of time until
September 18, 2001, to file a response to the notice to show cause. 
(2)
On September 20, 2001, Wall filed a document entitled AMotion
for Writ of Mandamus.@  By letter dated September 24, 2001, Wall clarified
that he intended the AMotion for Writ of Mandamus@ to serve as a new petition
                                                 
1The writ of error coram nobis is not one of the extraordinary writs within the
original jurisdiction of this Court.  See Del.  Const.  art.  IV, ' 11(6); See also In re
Nicholson, Del.  Supr., No. 4, 1994, Walsh, J., 1994 WL 35367 (Jan. 31, 1994)
(ORDER) (determining that Delaware has abolished the writ of error coram nobis).
2
for extraordinary relief and not as a response to the notice to show cause that
issued on August 24, 2001, in this case.2
(3)
Wall has not filed a response to the notice to show cause that
issued on August 24, 2001.  Accordingly, dismissal of Wall=s petition for writ
of coram nobis is deemed to be unopposed.3
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court
Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the petition for writ of coram nobis is
DISMISSED.
