SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAIʻI

IN RE BONNY N. EVANS, Petitioner.

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., McKenna, Eddins, Ginoza, and Devens, JJ.)

Upon consideration of petitioner Bonny N. Evans’s (1) July

8, 2024 Petition for Writ of Mandamus, (2) July 8, 2024 request

to proceed in forma pauperis, (3) July 24, 2024 correspondence,

which the court construes as a motion (July 24, 2024 motion),

(4) August 16, 2024 Motion for Limited Remand, (5) August 18,

2024 Motion to Stay Parallel Proceedings; (6) August 22, 2024

motion, which we construe as seeking a writ of mandamus (August

22, 2024 petition), and the record,

We conclude that petitioner fails to demonstrate

entitlement to the mandamus relief requested in the July 8, 2024

petition and August 22, 2024 petition. See Womble Bond

Dickinson (US) LLP v. Kim, 153 Hawaiʻi 307, 319, 537 P.3d 1154,

1166 (2023) (requiring a petitioner seeking an extraordinary writ to demonstrate “a clear and indisputable right to the

relief requested and a lack of other means to redress adequately

the alleged wrong or to obtain the requested action” (citation

omitted)). Additionally, Petitioner’s August 16, 2024 Motion

for Limited Remand does not specifically seek relief from this

court.

It is ordered that:

1. The petitioner’s request to proceed in forma pauperis

is granted, and the appellate clerks’ office shall process the

petitions without payment of the filing fee.

2. The July 8, 2024 petition and August 22, 2024 petition

are denied.

3. The July 24, 2024 motion is denied as moot.

4. The August 18, 2024 motion is denied.

5. The August 16, 2024 Motion for Limited Remand is

dismissed.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, September 23, 2024.
