SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
ERIK WILLIS, Petitioner,
vs.
THE HONORABLE KEVIN A. SOUZA, Judge of the Circuit Court of the First Circuit, State of Hawai#i, Respondent Judge,
and
STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (CR. NO. 1CPC-XX-XXXXXXX)
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS AND/OR MANDAMUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Wilson, and Eddins, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner Erik Willis’s petition
for writ of habeas corpus and/or mandamus, filed on December 21,
2020, the documents attached thereto and submitted in support
thereof, and the record, it appears that petitioner, who is
currently seeking relief in the underlying case, fails to
demonstrate that he is entitled to the requested extraordinary
writ from this court at this juncture. See Kema v. Gaddis, 91
Hawai#i 200, 204, 982 P.2d 334, 338 (1999); Oili v. Chang, 57
Haw. 411, 412, 557 P.2d 787, 788 (1976). Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for writ of
habeas corpus and/or mandamus is denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, January 11, 2021.
