IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
DVORAH M. MISHKIN, Petitioner,
vs.
COURT CLERK OF THE FAMILY COURT OF THE THIRD CIRCUIT,
STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(FC-D NO. 14-1-0274)
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner Dvorah M. Mishkin’s
petition for writ of mandamus, filed on June 27, 2017, the
documents attached thereto and submitted in support thereof, and
the record, it appears that the subject motion has been filed in
the record of Case No. 14-1-0274 and that petitioner fails to
demonstrate that she is entitled to indigent status before this
court. Petitioner, therefore, is not entitled to the requested
writ of mandamus. See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai#i 200, 204, 982
P.2d 334, 338 (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 and the related request for relief are denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, July 25, 2017.
