SCPW-13-0005642 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent,
vs.
DeWITT LONG, Petitioner.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (CR. NO. 12-1-1613)
ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, McKenna, and Pollack, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner DeWitt Long’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus, filed on November 25, 2013, the
documents attached thereto and submitted in support thereof, and
the record, it appears that petitioner has alternative means to
seek relief and presents no special reason for this court to
invoke its jurisdiction at this time. See Oili v. Chang, 57 Haw.
411, 412, 557 P.2d 787, 788 (1976) (the supreme court “will not
exercise its original jurisdiction in habeas corpus proceedings
when relief is available in a lower court and no special reason
exists for invoking its jurisdiction”). Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of
habeas corpus is denied without prejudice.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, February 13, 2014.
