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.
