Description
(1) The petitioner, James Pethel, an inmate at the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center, seeks to invoke this Courts original jurisdiction to issue an extraordinary writ of mandamus to compel the Superior Court to grant his petition for a writ of habeas corpus and release him from custody. The State of Delaware has filed an answer requesting that Pethels petition be dismissed. We find that Pethels petition manifestly fails to invoke the original jurisdiction of this Court. Accordingly, the petition must be DISMISSED.
