NISHIMURA, JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT, STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondents. ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (CIV. NO. 11-1-2008) ORDER DISMISSING MOTION TO EXPEDITE RULING ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS (By: Pollack, J.) Petitioner Richard Blaisdell submitted a motion to expedite a ruling on his October 5, 2012 petition for a writ of mandamus, which was filed on November 15, 2012. This court, however, disposed of the October 5, 2012 mandamus petition by order filed on November 15, 2012. Petitioner’s request for an expedited ruling is therefore moot. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion is dismissed. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, November 16, 2012. /s/ Richard W. Pollack Associate Justice
