THE HONORABLE LESLIE A. HAYASHI, JUDGE OF THE DISTRICT
COURT OF TAE FIRST CIRCUIT, STATE OF HAWAI'I, Respondent.

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(HED No. 07-486087)

(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)

Upon consideration of the petition for a writ of
mandamus filed by petitioner Ray Delos Santos and the papers in
support, it appears that petitioner's initial appearance before
the district court on December 10, 2007 was the appropriate
proceeding in which to seek redress from the district court’s
finding of probable cause. Petitioner did not seek redress from
the district court at the December 10, 2007 proceeding and he is
not entitled to mandamus relief. See Kama vs Gaddis, 91 Hawai'i
200, 204, 982 P.24 334, 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 a writ of
mandamus is denied.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, December 12, 2007,
