IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
GREGORY WILLIAMSON, Petitioner,
vs.
THE HONORABLE JAMES H. ASHFORD, Judge of the Circuit Court of the
Third Circuit, State of Hawai#i, Respondent Judge,
and
ALLIANCE PERSONNEL, INC., Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CIV. NO. 13-1-1840)
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, and Wilson, JJ., and
Circuit Judge Johnson, assigned by reason of vacancy)
Upon consideration of petitioner Gregory Williamson’s
“Emergency Second Supplement Mandamus Writ to the Emergency Non-
Hearing Motion of August 15, 2020,” which was filed as a petition
for writ of mandamus on June 15, 2021, the documents attached
thereto and submitted in support thereof, and the record, it
appears that the original petition for writ of mandamus was
denied by order entered on September 4, 2020, and petitioner
fails to demonstrate that he has a clear and indisputable right
to relief from this court. 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; a writ of mandamus is not intended
to supersede the legal discretionary authority of the trial
courts, cure a mere legal error, or serve as a legal remedy in
lieu of normal appellate procedures). Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for writ of
mandamus is denied.
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the clerk of the
appellate court shall process the petition without payment of the
filing fees.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, June 17, 2021.
