IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
PRUDENTIAL LOCATIONS, LLC, Petitioner,
vs.
THE HONORABLE KARL K. SAKAMOTO, JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT
OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT, STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent Judge,
and
LORNA GAGNON, PRESTIGE REALTY GROUP LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY,
RE/MAX LLC and LORRAINE CLAWSON, Respondents.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CIV. NO. 13-1-2328-08)
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner Prudential Locations,
LLC’s petition for writ of mandamus, filed on September 8, 2016,
the documents attached thereto and submitted in support thereof,
and the record, it appears that Petitioners fail to demonstrate
that they have a clear and indisputable right to the requested
relief or lack alternative means to seek relief at this time.
Petitioners, therefore, are not entitled to the requested writ of
mandamus. 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 petition for writ of
mandamus is denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, October 21, 2016.
