IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI'I
FELIX DACANAY AS PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ESTATE
OF ROGER ROXAS and THE GOLDEN BUDHA CORPORATION,
a foreign corporation, Petitioners,
vs.
THE HONORABLE KARL K. SAKAMOTO, JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT
OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT, STATE OF HAWAI'I, Respondent Judge,
and
IMELDA MARCOS, AS PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ESTATE OF
FERDINAND C. MARCOS and IMELDA MARCOS, INDIVIDUALLY, Respondents.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CIV. NO. 08-0522-02)
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioners Felix Dacanay, as
personal representative of the Estate of Roger Roxas, and The
Golden Budha Corporation’s petition for writ of mandamus, filed
on June 17, 2016, the documents attached thereto and submitted in
support thereof, and the record, it appears that Petitioners fail
to demonstrate that they are entitled to the specific relief they
seek at this time. Petitioners, therefore, are 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 is denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, August 1, 2016.
