ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

‘ORDER

Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)

(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson,
Upon consideration of the petition for a writ of habeas
corpus submitted by petitioner Michael C. Tierney, it appears
that habeas corpus relief is available to petitioner in the

circuit court and petitioner presents no special reason for
invoking the supreme court's original jurisdiction. see Qili ws.

Chang, 57 Haw. 511, 512, 557 P.2d 787, 788 (1976). Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate

court shall file the petition for a writ of habeas corpus without

payment of the filing fee.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petition for a writ of

habeas corpus is denied without prejudice to seeking habeas

corpus relief in the circuit court.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, August 13, 2008.
