THE HONORABLE DERRICK H. M. CHAN, JUDGE OF THE CTRCUIT
COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT, ‘STATE OF HAWAI'I, Respondent.

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CR. NO. 011-2230)

ORDER
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, 93.)
Upon consideration of Frank J. Santiago's “writ of
mandamus for entire transcripts of Cr. No, 1-1-2230", which is
deemed a petition for a writ of mandamus, it appears that
petitioner does not have a statutory or constitutional right to

free transcripts of Cr. No, 01-1-2230 to aid petitioner in

 

preparing @ petition for collateral relief. See HRS § 802-7
(1993); United states v, MacCollom, 426 U.S. 317, 323-26 (1976).
‘Therefore, petitioner is not entitled to mandamus relief. see
Kena v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai'i 200, 204, 982 P.2d 334, 338 (1999) (a
weit of mandamus is an extraordinary renedy that will not issue
uniess 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.). Therefore,
IT 18 HEREBY ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate
court shall file petitioner's papers as a petition for a writ of

mandamus without payment of the filing fees.
 

JER ORDERED that the petition for a wr.

 

mandamus is denied,
