ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CIVIL NO. 12-1-2625-10)
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)
Upon consideration of Petitioners’ petition for writ of
mandamus, filed on October 23, 2017, petitioners’ supplement to
the petition for writ of mandamus, filed on October 30, 2017, the
respective supporting documents, and the record, it appears that
petitioners fail to demonstrate a clear and indisputable right to
the requested relief. See United States v. Kellington, 217 F.3d
1084, 1095 n.12 (9th Cir. 2000); Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai#i 200,
204, 982 P.2d 334, 338 (1999). Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for writ of
mandamus is denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, November 15, 2017.
