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 1 habeas corpus. 1 Accordingly, we dismiss the petitions without reference to their merits.
