Electronically Filed Supreme Court SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX 07-NOV-2023 11:22 AM Dkt. 10 ORD
SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI‘I
IN THE INTEREST OF NICHOLAS ABEL
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
ORDER (By: Recktenwald, C.J., McKenna, and Eddins, JJ., Circuit Judge Kim and Circuit Judge Kawano, assigned by reasons of vacancies)
Upon consideration of the September 18, October 5, and
October 24, 2023 submissions from Nicholas Abel, which we deem
either an attempt to initiate civil litigation against two
individuals, or to seek post-conviction relief concerning
judgments entered against him, we conclude this court lacks the
jurisdiction to consider his requests for relief. Cf. Hawaiʻi
Revised Statutes §§ 603-21.5(a) (Supp. 2017), 604-5 (2016); Rule
40(b) of the Hawaiʻi Rules of Penal Procedure. We also note the
motion for permission to proceed in forma pauperis. Therefore, It is ordered that the motion to proceed in forma pauperis
is granted.
It is further ordered that the petitions are dismissed
without prejudice to Abel seeking relief in a court of
appropriate jurisdiction.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, November 7, 2023.
