Description
Submitted: November 22, 2005 Before STEELE, Chief Justice, BERGER and JACOBS, Justices ORDER This 24th day of January 2006, it appears to the Court that: (1) The petitioner, George R. Goodlett, seeks to invoke this Court's original jurisdiction to issue an extraordinary writ of mandamus1 to compel the Superior Court to sentence him according to the Truth in Sentencing guidelines. The State of Delaware, as the real party in interest, has filed an answer requesting that Goodlett's petition be dismissed. We find that Goodlett's petition manifestly fails to invoke the original jurisdiction of this Court. Accordingly, the petition must be dismissed.
