DANIA MEDEIROS, Petitioner
‘THE HONORABLE SIMONE POLAK, Judge of the Family Court,
Second Cireust, and RALPH MEDETROS, Respondents

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(FC-D NO. 05-1-0078)

ORDER
(By: Moon, C.J-, Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, Jd.)
upon consideration of the petition for a writ of

mandamus filed by petitioner Dania Medeiros and the papers in
support, it appears that the decision of the respondent judge
concerning temporary custody is reviewable on appeal from a
decree entered in FC-D No, 05-1-0078 that dissolves the parties’
marriage and awards final custody of the parties’ children.
Petitioner will have 2 remedy by way of appeal from such a decree
and a writ of mandamus is not intended to take the place of an
appeal. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of
mandamus is denied without prejudice to any remedy petitioner may
have by way of appeal.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, July 31, 2006.
