ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)

Upon consideration of the petition for a writ of
mandamus filed by Petitioners John F. Kahooilihala, Doreen K.
Kshooilihala, and John K. Morris, the papers in support, and the
records and files herein, it appears that: (1) Petitioners are
petitioning this court to review rulings and orders issued by the
respondent judge in Kahooilihala v. Kawaiaha‘o Church, Civil No.
03-1-0166; (2) Petitioners will have a remedy by way of appeal
from any adverse judgment, 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 Petitioners
may have in the pending circuit court case and without prejudice
to any remedy Petitioners may have by way of appeal.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai"i, December 23, 2005.
