IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
ERIC RICHARD ELESON, Petitioner,
vs.
STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner Eric Richard Eleson’s
petition for writ of habeas corpus, filed on August 7, 2017, the
documents attached thereto and submitted in support thereof, and
the record, it appears that petitioner has alternative means to
seek relief and presents no special reason for this court to
invoke its jurisdiction at this time. See Oili v. Chang, 57 Haw.
411, 412, 557 P.2d 787, 788 (1976) (the supreme court “will not
exercise its original jurisdiction in habeas corpus proceedings
when relief is available in a lower court and no special reason
exists for invoking its jurisdiction”). Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for writ of
habeas corpus is denied. IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the clerk of the
appellate court shall process the petition for writ of habeas
corpus without payment of the filing fee.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, August 14, 2017.
