SCPW-13-0001183

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I

CHARLES KAOHU, Petitioner,

vs.

STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent.

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (CR. NO. 03-1-164)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, McKenna, and Pollack, JJ.)

Upon consideration of petitioner Charles Kaohu’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus, filed on May 30, 2013, and the record, it appears that habeas corpus relief is available to petitioner in the circuit court and petitioner presents no special reason for the supreme court to invoke its original jurisdiction at this time. See Oili v. Chang, 57 Haw. 411, 412, 557 P.2d 787, 788 (1976). Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is denied.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, June 26, 2013.
