SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAIʻI ________________________________________________________________
JOSEPH PETERS-HOLOKAHI, Petitioner,
vs.
THE HONORABLE KEVIN A. SOUZA, Judge of the Circuit Court of the First Circuit, State of Hawaiʻi, Respondent Judge,
and
STATE OF HAWAIʻI, Respondent. ________________________________________________________________
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (1CPC-XX-XXXXXXX) ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR EXTRAORDINARY WRIT (By: Recktenwald, C.J., McKenna, Eddins, Ginoza, and Devens, JJ.)
Upon consideration of the petition for extraordinary writ
filed September 9, 2024, and the record, bail was set at
$750,000 and then reduced to $500,000. This record does not
reflect that the Respondent Judge’s decision to deny
Petitioner’s motion to further reduce bail constitutes a
flagrant and manifest abuse of discretion. See Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes § 804-9 (Supp. 2019); Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP v.
Kim, 153 Hawaiʻi 307, 319, 537 P.3d 1154, 1166 (2023).
It is ordered that the petition is denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, January 21, 2025.
