ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CIV, NO. 07-1-0469)

ORDER
Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)

upon consideration of the petition for a writ of

   

mandamus filed by petitioner Stoneridge Recoveries, LLC and the
papers in support, it appears that the dismissal of Civil No. 07-
41-0469 is reviewable on appeal of the April 15, 2008 judgment.
Petitioner has a remedy by way of appeal and petitioner can seek
a stay of the April 15, 2008 Judgment pending appeal from the

appellate court. See HRAP 6. Therefore, petitioner is not

entitled to mandamus relief. See Kema 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. Such writs are not intended to

supersede the legal discretionary authority of the lower courts,

oats
nor are they intended to serve as legal remedies in lieu of

 

1 appellate procedures.), Accordingly,
IT IS HERESY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of
mandamus is denied,

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, June 2, 2008,
