ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(civ, NO. 07-1-0785)

OADER
(By: Moon, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.
and Intermediate Court of Appeals Juage Nakamura,
‘assigned by reason of vacancy)

Upon consideration of the petition for a writ of
mandamus filed by petitioner Gardiner Bosey Sith TIT and the
papers in support, it appears that petitioner fails to
demonstrate a clear and indisputable right to placenent of Civil
No. 07-1-0785 on the ready calendar or to entry of a final
default judgment. See Hawai'i Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 4(c)
(service of a complaint and summons shall be made by personal
service). Therefore, petitioner is not entitled to mandamus
relief. See Kena

 

Gaddis, 91 Hawai'i 200, 204-05, 982 P.24
334, 338-39 (1999) (A writ of mandamus is an extraordinary renedy
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 clerk of the appellate
court shall process the petition for a writ mandamus without
payment of the filing fee.
 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petition for a wri

mandamus is denied.
