IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF CHRIS GRINDING
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
ORDER
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, Duffy, and McKenna, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner Chris Grindling’s
petition for an extraordinary writ filed on May 9, 2012, it
appears that petitioner fails to demonstrate a clear and
indisputable right to relief. Therefore, petitioner is not
entitled to extraordinary relief. See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai#i
200, 204, 982 P.2d 334, 338 (1999) (An extraordinary writ 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 clerk of the appellate
court shall process the petition for an extraordinary writ
without payment of the filing fee.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petition for an
extraordinary writ is denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, May 17, 2012.
