IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
GALINA OGEONE, Petitioner,
vs.
THE HONORABLE DEAN OCHIAI, Judge of the Circuit Court of the
First Circuit, State of Hawai#i, Respondent Judge,
and
DENTIST LESLIE AU, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CAAP-XX-XXXXXXX; CAAP-XX-XXXXXXX; CIV. NO. 18-1-000076)
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner Galina Ogeone’s
petition for writ of mandamus, filed on January 7, 2019, the
documents submitted in support thereof, and the record, it
appears that petitioner fails to demonstrate that she has a clear
and indisputable right to the requested relief or that she lacks
alternative means to seek relief. Petitioner is not entitled to
the requested writ of mandamus. See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai#i
200, 204-05, 982 P.2d 334, 338-39 (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, January 18, 2019.
