Electronically Filed Supreme Court SCOT-XX-XXXXXXX 28-AUG-2025 11:37 AM Dkt. 9 ORD

SCOT-XX-XXXXXXX

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAIʻI

IN RE ROSLYN CUMMINGS

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

ORDER (By: Recktenwald, C.J., McKenna, Eddins, Ginoza, and Devens, JJ.)

Upon consideration of the documents filed March 19, 2025,

which the court construes as a petition for writ of mandamus,

petitioner has not demonstrated a clear and indisputable right

to relief, and/or a lack of alternative means to obtain the

relief sought. See Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP v. Kim, 153

Hawaiʻi 307, 319, 537 P.3d 1154, 1166 (2023); Barnett v.

Broderick, 84 Hawaiʻi 109, 111, 929 P.2d 1359, 1361 (1996).

Additionally, the March 19, 2025 document filed at Docket 1

contains what appears to be dates of birth, which constitute

personal information that shall not be included in any

accessible state court document. See Hawaiʻi Court Records Rules 2.19 and 9. This document has been sealed to protect the

personal information.

It is ordered that the petition is denied.

It is further ordered that the appellate clerk shall file a

redacted version of the March 19, 2025 document filed at Docket

1 and Docket 1 shall remain sealed because it contains

confidential personal information. Any member of the public may

file a motion objecting to the sealing.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, August 28, 2025.
