STATE OF HARAI'I, Plaintiff-Appellee

DEVIN E, CROWE, Defendant-Appellant 3

APPEAL FROM THE SECOND CIRCUIT COURT
(CR. NO, 05-1-0547)

 

(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)
upon consideration of Defendant-Appellant Devin E.

Crowe's motion to expedite review of the notice of expedited
appeal from the order pertaining to bail, the papers in support,
and the records and files herein, it appears that: (1) Appellant
was charged with offenses in the Circuit Court of the Second
Circuit; (2) the cireuit court set bail at $300,000 and later
reduced bail to $250,000; (3) Appellant seeks review of the bail
order pursuant to HRAP Rule 9(a) (1); (4) HRAP Rule 9(a) (1)
governs appeals authorized by law from an order refusing or
imposing conditions of release prior to a judgment or conviction:
(5) HRS chapter 804 governs the imposition of bail, and there is
no appeal authorized by law from an order refusing or imposing
conditions of release prior to a judgment of conviction, see also
HAS § 641-11 (appeals in criminal cases are authorized only from
the judgment of the circuit court, which is the sentence of the

court); (6) HRAP Rule 9(a) (2) provides that review of orders

oay4
respecting release prior to a judgment of conviction may be
obtained by application for an extraordinary writ pursuant to
Rule 21 or an application for a writ of habeas corpus, see

Polekai v, white, 75 Haw. 357, 861 P.2d 1205 (1993) (defendant

 

filed a petition for writ of mandamus seeking review of family
court bail order); Sakamoto v, Chang, 56 Haw. 447, 539 P.2d 1197
(1975) (defendant filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus
seeking review of circuit court bail order). Therefore,

IT 1S HEREBY ORDERED that the motion to expedite the
appeal is denied,

IT 18 FURTHER ORDERED that the appeal from the order
pertaining to bail is dismissed without prejudice to a petition
for writ of mandamus or a writ of habeas corpus.
