Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE

IN THE MATTER OF THE § PETITION OF ROGER A. § No. 414, 2017 EDWARDS FOR A WRIT OF § HABEAS CORPUS §

Submitted: October 31, 2017 Decided: November 3, 2017

ORDER

This 3rd day of November 2017, it appears to the Court that, on October 9,

2017, the Senior Court Clerk issued a notice directing the petitioner to show cause

why his petition for a writ of habeas corpus should not be dismissed for this Court’s

lack of original jurisdiction to issue a writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner failed to

respond to the notice to show cause within the required ten-day period. Dismissal

of this petition is therefore deemed to be unopposed.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2)

and 29(b), that the petitioner’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus is DISMISSED.

BY THE COURT:

/s/ Karen L. Valihura Justice
