ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

ORDER
(By: Moon, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.,
and Intermediate Court of Appeals Judge Lecnard,
‘assigned by reason of vacancy)

Upon consideration of the petition for a writ of habeas
corpus filed by petitioner Richard 8, Rapozo, it appears that
habeas corpus relief is available to petitioner in the circuit
court and petitioner presents no special reason for invoking the
supreme court’s original jurisdiction. See Oili v, Chang, 57
Haw, 511, 512, 557 P.2d 787, 788 (1976). Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate
court shall process the petition for a writ of habeas corpus
without payment of the filing fee.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petition for a writ of
habeas corpus is denied without prejudice to seeking habeas
corpus relief in the circuit court pursuant to HRS § 660-3
(2993).

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, april 9, 2009.
