ORIGINAL PROCEEDING s

 

ORDER
yama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)

 

(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson,
Upon consideration of the petition for a writ of

prohibition and mandamus filed by petitioner Siobhan Radway, the
papers in support and the record, it appears that the denial of
Judicial disqualification is not reviewable by mandanus or
prohibition under the authorities cited by petitioner inasmuch as
the order denying judicial disqualification is not an order
disqualifying counsel and petitioner is not prohibited from
appealing from the final order entered in the post-judgment
proceeding in FC-P No. 97-082K. The decisions of the respondent
judge denying judicial disqualification, denying continuance of
the July 20, 2006 evidentiary hearing and modifying custody are
xeviewable on appeal from the final order entered in the post-
judgment proceeding in FC-P No. 97-092K. Petitioner will have a
remedy by way of appeal from the final order and a writ of
prohibition or mandamus is not intended to take the place of an

appeal. Therefore,

orn
IT 18 HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of
prohibition and mandamus is denied without prejudice to any
remedy petitioner may have by way of appeal.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai"i, August 25, 2006.
