EX PARTE FABBIAN DONTA SCOTT
Do Not Publish
Submitted on August 30, 2022
Original Proceeding Criminal District Court of Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause Nos. 21-36748 and 21-36749
Before Golemon, C.J., Horton and Johnson, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
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 habeas corpus. Accordingly, we dismiss the petitions without reference to their merits.

PETITIONS DISMISSED.
