SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAIʻI

IN RE PAUL H. GANTT, Petitioner

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (Civil No. 5CC131000166)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., McKenna, and Eddins, JJ.; Circuit Judge Remigio, in place of Ginoza, J., recused, and Circuit Judge Morikone, in place of Devens, J., recused)

On January 28, 2025, Petitioner submitted a letter which

was filed as a petition for writ of mandamus. We are not

persuaded that the petition has established a clear and

indisputable right to the relief requested, nor a lack of

alternative means to seek the relief requested. See Womble Bond

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

1166 (2023) (providing that a petition for mandamus relief must

establish 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.).

The petition is denied. The clerk of the appellate court

shall process the petition without payment of the filing fee.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, April 1, 2025.
