Pine v. State

DECISION

This matter is before the Court on Justin Pine's Petition for Issuance of Habeas Corpus and for Immediate Release on Bail, and the State's objection thereto.

For the reasons that follow, this Court lacks jurisdiction to grant the relief requested in the present posture, and the Petition is denied and dismissed.
