Moon, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ., and

Intermediate Court of’ Appeals Judge Nakamura,
assigned by reason of vacancy)

 

 

Upon consideration of the petition for a writ of
mandamus filed by petitioner Michael L. Carter, it appears that
petitioner fails to demonstrate a clear and indisputable right to
relief, See Kena v, Gaddis, 91 Hawai'i 200, 204-05, 982 P.2d
334, 338-39 (1999) (A writ of mandamus is an extraordinary remedy
that will not issue unless the petitioner demonstrates a clear
and indisputable right to relief and a lack of alternative means
to redress adequately the alleged wrong or obtain the requested
action.). Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate
court shall process the petition for a writ of mandamus without
payment of the filing £

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petition for a writ of
mandamus is denied.
