State ex rel. Spires v. Poff
Opinion of the Court
Petitioner prays that we issue an alternative writ of mandamus directed to the Clerk of the Clark Circuit Court. Under §4 of Article 7 of the Constitution of Indiana, we only have “such original jurisdiction as the General Assembly may confer.” By §3-2201, Burns’ 1946 Replacement, our jurisdiction is limited to issuing writs of mandamus to the courts therein named. We have no jurisdiction to issue a writ to a clerk of a trial court.
Petition denied.
Note. — Reported in 116 N. E. 2d 297.
