SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAIʻI ________________________________________________________________
VICTORIA R. KORDA, Petitioner,
v.
THE HONORABLE KATHLEEN N.A. WATANABE, Judge of the Circuit Court, Fifth Circuit, State of Hawaiʻi, Respondent Judge,
and
STATE OF HAWAIʻI, Respondent. ________________________________________________________________
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (CASE NOS. 5CPC-XX-XXXXXXX; 5CPC-XX-XXXXXXX)
ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS WITHOUT PREJUDICE (By: McKenna, Acting C.J., Eddins, Ginoza, and Devens, JJ., and Circuit Judge Toʻotoʻo, assigned by reason of vacancy)
Petitioner filed a petition for writ of mandamus on June 5,
2025. Petitioner filed other documents after June 5, 2025.
Upon review of these documents, it is difficult to discern the
relief sought in this original proceeding. Additionally, the
last document was filed on July 16, 2025, and appears to seek dismissal of this case. Petitioner has not filed any other
documents since the July 16, 2025 document.
It is ordered that the petition is dismissed without
prejudice to refiling, if necessary. The clerk shall process
the petition without payment of the filing fees.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, February 6, 2026.
