Electronically Filed Supreme Court SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX 07-JAN-2021 12:23 PM Dkt. 8 ODDP
SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
IN RE CHRIS SLAVICK, Petitioner.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Wilson, and Eddins, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner Chris Slavick’s
petition for writ of mandamus, filed on December 28, 2020, it
appears that, based on the record before this court, petitioner
fails to demonstrate that he has a clear and indisputable right
to relief and that he lacks alternative means to seek relief.
Petitioner, therefore, is not entitled to the requested
extraordinary writ. See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai#i 200, 204, 982
P.2d 334, 338 (1999) (a writ of mandamus is an extraordinary
remedy that will not issue unless the petitioner demonstrates a
clear and indisputable right to relief and a lack of alternative
means to redress adequately the alleged wrong or obtain the
requested action). Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for writ of
mandamus is denied.
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the clerk of the
appellate court shall process the petition for writ of mandamus
without payment of the filing fee.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, January 7, 2021.
