APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT
(S.P.2. No, 03-1-0056)

‘SUMMARY DISPOSITION ORDER
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, and Nakayama, JJ.; and Acoba, Js,
Concurring separately, with whom Duffy, J., joins)

the petitioner-appellant Ricky D. Garringer appeals
from the February 20, 2004 order of the circuit court of the
first circuit, the Honorable Marcia J. Waldorf, presiding, denying
his Hawai'i Rules of Penal Procedure (HRPP) Rule 40 petition
without @ hearing.

on appeal, Garringer contends that the circuit court
erred in denying his HREP Rule 40 petition by implicitly
Concluding that Apprendi v. New Jersev, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), did
not render illegal his extended term of imprisonment imposed
pursuant to HRS § 706-662(4) (Supp. 1996).

upon carefully reviewing the record and the briefs
submitted by the parties and having given due consideration to
the arguments advanced and the issues raised, we affirm the order
of the circuit court.

on March 4, 1991, Garringer was sentenced to life

imprisonment with the possibility of parole with @ ten-year

minimum sentence. On March 3, 1992 that sentence was affirmed on
direct appeal through this court’s memorandum opinion (Mem. Op.),
No. 15217, 73 Haw. 624, 827 P.2d 1148 (1992). Pursuant to a
previous HRPP Rule 40 petition that resulted in this court's
published decision in Garringer v. State, 80 Hawai'i 327, 909
P.2d 1142 (1996), Garringer was resentenced on August 12, 1997,
to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole with no
mandatory minimum sentence. He appealed the new sentence, which
was affirmed by this court on December 22, 1998 via summary
disposition order (S00) No. 2095S. Apprendi was announced on
June 26, 2000. Therefore, Garringer seeks, through his HRPP Rule *
40 petition, to apply Apprendi retroactively to collaterally
attack his sentence.?

‘This court held in State v. Gomes, 107 Hawai'i 308,
314, 113 P.3d 184, 190 (2005), “that Apprendi does:riot apply
retroactively in this jurisdiction to cases on collateral

attack.” Therefore,

+o the extent that Garringer's appeal alleges that the circuit
court “erred when i enhanced [his] sentence based on facts other than # prior
Conviction” and chat the prosecution ‘when it did not charge in the
indictment and subnit to the jury() the facts ured to enhance [Garringer]’s
sentence,” Garringer argues in substance that uorendi was violated during the
Sentencing process. To the extent that Garringer is generally challenging the
Sentencing court's discretion in inposing the extended sentence of life with
the possibility of parole, that seve has been previously ruled upon in Mem.
Op. No. 15217 and the wentence reaffirmed in S00 No. 20985, Therefore,
pursuant to HRPP Rule O(a) (3), relief s¢ not available. Finally, to the
extent that Garringer argues in his opening Brief that he was not given fair
notice at trial thet an extended sentence was possible, information that ne
alleges might have changed his trial strategy, aside fron failing to explicate
This point through any authority aside from a’ passing reference co the fifth
anendnent to the United states Constitution, he offers no exvenvating
Circumstances as to why the iseue could not have been reised on direct eppeal
of his sentence in March 1991. Therefore, pursuant to #RPP Rule 4O(a) (31+ he
has waived that issue for purposes of the present petition.
