RICHARD RAPOZO, Petitioner,

STATE OF HAWAIʻI, Respondent. ________________________________________________________________
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (CASE NO. 1PR141000016)
ORDER DENYING PETITION (By: Recktenwald, C.J., McKenna, Eddins, and Devens, JJ., and Circuit Judge Nakamoto, in place of Ginoza, J., recused)
Upon consideration of the “Motion to Compel Discharge of
Movant Pursuant to Ex Parte Lange, 85 U.S. 163 (1874) in effect
May 16, 1979” (Motion), filed on March 11, 2024, and the record,
we construe the Motion as a petition for writ of habeas corpus.
So construed, Petitioner has not demonstrated a special reason
for this court to invoke its original jurisdiction in a habeas
corpus proceeding. See Oili v. Chang, 57 Haw. 411, 412, 557
P.2d 787, 788 (1976). It is ordered that the petition is denied.
