30 THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OP HAWAT'Ip|

 

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

(ay: Moon, €.9., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, 23.)

pon consideration of petitioner Edmund Keli's silva,
ge. 's Application for Quo Harrento Writ and Temporary Restraining
Order and the papers in support, it appears that a writ of quo
warranto is not issuable by the suprene court pursuant to HRS
chapter 659 inasmuch as chapter 659 applies to the circuit court,
not the suprene court.

It further appears that the writ sought by petitioner
ts not issuable by the suprene court pursuant to HRS §5 602-
5(a)(5) oF (6) (Supp. 2006) snasmich as the suprene court's
Jurisdiction in Sierra Club v. Department of Transportation (No.
27407) terminated on October 3, 2007 upon entry of the Judgment
fon Appeal end no other case concerning the Hawaii Superferry is
pending before the supreme court. HRS § 602-5(a) (Supp. 2006)
does not otherwise confer the suprene court with jurisdiction and

power to issue the writ sought by petitioner. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the application for a writ of
quo warranto is dismissed.

DATED: Wonclulu, Hawai'i, November 5, 2007.
