                     MEMORANDUM OPINION

     Fabbian Donta Scott filed two original applications seeking a writ

of habeas corpus, and he asked that this Court conduct an evidentiary

hearing into the lawfulness of his pre-trial confinement in two pending

cases. In cases that arise from a criminal court that resulted from the

defendant’s indictment, the intermediate appellate courts lack original

habeas corpus jurisdiction and do not possess the power to issue writs of

                                   1
habeas corpus. 1 Accordingly, we dismiss the petitions without reference

to their merits.

     PETITIONS DISMISSED.
