Electronically Filed Supreme Court SCWC-XX-XXXXXXX 11-MAY-2026 09:38 AM Dkt. 9 ODAC
SCWC-XX-XXXXXXX
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAIʻI _______________________________________________________________ STEPHEN RICHARD KENNY, Petitioner/Plaintiff-Appellant,
vs.
CELIA E. ROBERTS, Respondent/Defendant-Appellee. _______________________________________________________________ CERTIORARI TO THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS (CAAP-XX-XXXXXXX; CASE NO. 2DSS-XX-XXXXXXX) ORDER REJECTING APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI (By: Devens, C.J., McKenna, Eddins, and Ginoza, JJ., and Circuit Judge Tonaki, assigned by reason of vacancy)
Petitioner’s document filed on March 30, 2026, which
we construe in part as an application for writ of certiorari, is
hereby rejected.
Also, Petitioner’s request for an extraordinary writ
is denied. It is this court, and not the Intermediate Court of
Appeals (ICA), that has original jurisdiction over petitions for
extraordinary writs. See Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes § 602-5(a)(3)
(2016); Hawaiʻi Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP) Rule 21 (2010). And Petitioner’s document that was filed in the ICA
cited to HRAP Rule 21 and requested an extraordinary writ.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, May 11, 2026.
