IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF LAWRENCE COLLINGWOOD, JR., FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS. No. 324, 2002 In the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware. Submitted: June 19, 2002 Decided: August 14, 2002
Before VEASEY, Chief Justice, WALSH and BERGER, Justices.
E. NORMAN VEASEY, Chief Justice.
ORDER
This 14th day of August 2002, it appears to the Court that:
(1) The petitioner, Lawrence Collingwood, Jr., an inmate at the Delaware Correctional Center, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus claiming that the conditions of his confinement violate his constitutional rights.
The State of Delaware, as the real party in interest, has filed an answer and motion to dismiss. Because the petition fails to invoke the jurisdiction of the Court, it must be DISMISSED.
(2) The original jurisdiction of this Court does not include habeas corpus. Accordingly, Collingwood's petition manifestly fails on its face to invoke this Court's jurisdiction. The Court further concludes that the giving of notice would serve no meaningful purpose and that any response would be of no avail.
DEL. CONST. art. IV, § 11( 6).
SUPR. CT. R. 29(c).
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(c), that the within petition is DISMISSED.
