IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent,
vs.
CHRIS SLAVICK, Petitioner.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(Cr. No. 04-1-001534)
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR HABEAS CORPUS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, McKenna, and Pollack, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner Christopher Lee
Slavick’s “Motion for Habeas Corpus via 660-3”, which was filed
on April 12, 2013, and which we review as a petition for a writ
of habeas corpus, and the record, it appears that habeas corpus
relief is available to petitioner in the circuit court and
petitioner presents no special reason for invoking the supreme
court’s original jurisdiction. See Oili v. Chang, 57 Haw. 411,
412, 557 P.2d 787, 788 (1976). Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate
court shall process the motion, which we review as a petition for
a writ of habeas corpus, without payment of the filing fee.
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the motion is denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, May 8, 2013.
