His petition reveals that he had previously been convicted in the trial court and took an appeal to this court on September 10, 1958, which was deter*536mined by this court in Allison v. State (1960), 240 Ind. 556, 166 N. E. 2d 171.

The State of Indiana has filed a motion to dismiss the petition herein on the ground that this court has no original jurisdiction to entertain a petition for a writ of error coram nobis.
