ORDER al
(By: Moon, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ. and

Intermediate Court of Appeals Judge Fujise,
in place of Recktenwald, J., recused)

MHZ Hd 9259

Upon consideration of the petition for a writ of
mandamus filed by petitioner Wanda Shelton and the papers in
support, it appears that the notice of removal filed by
petitioner in the Hawai't federal district court pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1446 (a) was the Notice of Removal filed on July 7, 2003
as Civil No. 09-00309 SOM/LEK. Petitioner did not file a copy of
that notice in $.P. No. 09-1-0025 pursuant to 26 U.S.C. $
1446(d). Tt further appears that petitioner can move, in S.P.
No. 09-1-0025, for the disqualification of the respondent judge
and for the dismissal of the motion to compel arbitration.

 

Therefore, petitioner is not entitled to mandamus relief. see

Kema_v, Gaddis, 91 Hawai'i 200, 204, 962 P.2d 334, 338 (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 ob

 

the

 

quested action.). Accordingly,

IT IS HERI

 

SY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of
mandamus is denied.
