ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

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

upon consideration of Petitioner Francis Grandinetti’s
petition for a writ of mandamus to a public officer, the papers
in support, and the records and files herein, it appears
Petitioner fails to demonstrate that he is entitled to a writ of
mandamus. See Barnett v. Broderick, 84 Hawai'i 109, 111, 929
1359, 1361 (1996) (mandamus relief is available to compel an
official to perform a duty allegedly owed to an individual only
Af the individual’s claim is clear and certain, the official's
duty is ministerial and so plainly prescribed as to be free from
doubt, and no other remedy is available). ‘Therefore,

IT 18 HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of
mandamus to a public officer is denied.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, June 19, 2006.
