SCPW-20-0000082 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I GALINA OGEONE, Petitioner, vs. JUDGES OF THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent Judges, and DENTIST LESLIE AU, Respondent. ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (CAAP-18-0000449; CIV. NOS. 16-1-1347-7 and 16-1-1348-7) ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.) Upon consideration of petitioner Galina Ogeone’s petition for writ of mandamus, filed on February 19, 2020, the supporting documents, and the record, it appears that petitioner fails to demonstrate that she has a clear and indisputable right to the requested relief and petitioner may seek relief, as appropriate, in CAAP-18-0000449. Petitioner, therefore, is not entitled to the requested extraordinary writ. See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai#i 200, 204-05, 982 P.2d 334, 338-39 (1999) (a writ of mandamus is an extraordinary remedy that will not issue unless the petitioner demonstrates a clear and indisputable right Electronically Filed Supreme Court SCPW-20-0000082 02-MAR-2020 02:47 PM 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 writ of mandamus is denied. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, March 2, 2020. /s/ Mark E. Recktenwald /s/ Paula A. Nakayama /s/ Sabrina S.
