SCPW-15-0000500 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I DENNIS FLORER, Petitioner, vs. THE HONORABLE CHRISTINE KURIYAMA, JUDGE OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent Judge, and STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent. ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (CR. NO. 14-1-0229) ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.) Upon consideration of Petitioner Dennis Florer’s petition for a writ of mandamus, filed on July 2, 2015, the documents attached thereto and submitted in support thereof, and the record, it appears that Petitioner fails to demonstrate that he has a clear and indisputable right to the requested relief or that he lacks alternative means to seek relief. A writ of mandamus is, therefore, not warranted. See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai#i 200, 204-05, 982 P.2d 334, 338-39 (1999) (A writ of Electronically Filed Supreme Court SCPW-15-0000500 06-AUG-2015 10:09 AM 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 petition for a writ of mandamus is denied. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, August 6, 2015. /s/ Mark E. Recktenwald /s/ Paula A. Nakayama /s/ Sabrina S. McKenna /s/ Richard W. Pollack /s/ Michael D. Wilson 2
