SCPW-13-0002206
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
CHRIS SLAVICK, Petitioner,
vs.
WALTER RODBY, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (Cr. No. 04-1-001534)
ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, McKenna, and Pollack, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner Christopher Lee
Slavick’s letter to the supreme court, which was filed on July
22, 2013, and which we review as a petition for a writ of
mandamus, and the record, it appears that petitioner’s request is
not the proper subject of a writ of mandamus. Petitioner,
nevertheless, has alternative means to obtain the requested
relief. See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai#i 200, 204, 982 P.2d 334,
338 (1999) (a writ of mandamus is an extraordinary remedy that
will not issue unless the petitioner demonstrates a clear and
indisputable right to relief and a lack of alternative means to
redress adequately the alleged wrong or obtain the requested action). Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate
court shall process the petition for a writ of mandamus without
payment of the filing fee.
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the petition for a
writ of mandamus is denied without prejudice.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, August 13, 2013.
