Upon consideration of the petition for writ of mandamus

filed October 1, 2024, and the record, a writ of mandamus is not

intended to be used in lieu of normal appellate procedures, such

as a motion filed pursuant to Rule 5 of the Hawaiʻi Rules of

Appellate Procedure or an application for writ of certiorari.

P.3d 1154, 1166 (2023).

It is ordered that the petition is denied. It is further ordered that the appellate clerk shall refile

2012). Namely, Petitioner’s birthdate and social security

number.
