COURT DOCUMENTS CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT oF alHE
FIRST CIRCUIT and THE HONORABLE DERRICK M. CHAN,
JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE
FIRST CIRCUIT, STATE OF HAWAI'I, Respondents.

 

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(5.P.P, NO. 07-1-0044 and S.P.P. NO, 07-1-0049)

ORDER
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, and Duffy, JJ., and
Circuit Judge Crandall, in place of Acoba, J., recused)
Upon consideration of petitioner Edmund M. Abordo’s
petition for a writ of mandamus and the papers in support, it
appears that petitioner's claim against the circuit court

documents clerk is moot inasmuch as petitioner's motions

 

received by the documents clerk on February 14, 2008 -~ were
filed on April 15, 2008 and April 16, 2008 and entered on the
dockets of S.P.P. No. 071-0044 and S.P.P. No. 07-1-0049.

It further appears that petitioner is not entitled to
mandamus relief against the respondent judge inasmuch as
petitioner can appeal from a final judgment disposing of S.2.P.
No. 07-1-0049 and petitioner will have a renedy by way of appeal.
See Kena v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai'i 200, 204, 962 P.2d 334, 338 (1999)
(A writ of mandamus is an extraordinary renedy that will not
issue unless the petitioner denonstrates a clear and indisputable
right to relief and a lack of other means to redress adequately

the alleged wrong or obtain the requested action. Such writs are

aaws
not intended to serve as legal remedies in lieu of normal
appellate procedures.). Therefore,

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

IT 1S FURTHER ORDERED that the petition for writ of
mandamus is (1) denied as moot as to the relief sought against
the respondent first circuit court documents clerk and (2) denied
2s to the relief sought against the respondent judge.

TT 1S FINALLY ORDERED that the respondent first circuit
court documents clerk shall forthwith serve petitioner with file-
stamped copies of (1) the “Motion to Exercise My Constitutional
Right to File a State Habeas Corpus Under HRS § 660-3.5 and Under
Art. 1, § 9, cl(2) of the United States Constitution” filed on
April 18, 2008 in $.P.P. No. 07-1-0049, and (2) the “Motion to
Reinstate Petitioner's HRPP Rule 40" filed on April 16, 2008 in
S.P.P. No. 07-1-0044.
