IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
GERALD VILLANUEVA, Petitioner,
vs.
JAMES HIRANO, WARDEN, MCCC, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (CR. NO. 96-0078)
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, McKenna, and Pollack, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner Gerald Villanueva’s
petition for a writ of habeas corpus, filed on June 2, 2013, and
the record, it appears that habeas corpus relief is available to
petitioner in the circuit court and petitioner presents no
special reason for the supreme court to invoke its original
jurisdiction at this time. See Oili v. Chang, 57 Haw. 411, 412,
557 P.2d 787, 788 (1976). Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate court
shall process the petition for a writ of habeas corpus without
payment of the filing fee. IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the petition for a writ of
habeas corpus is denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, June 26, 2013.
