ORDER
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)
Upon consideration of Michael Tierney’s letter to the
supreme court, which is dened a petition for a writ of mandamus,
At appears that petitioner fails to demonstrate that he sought
and was denied relief from the director of public safety.
Therefore, petitioner is not entitled to mandamus relief. See

In Re Disciplinary Bd, of Hawaii Supreme Court, 91 Hawai'l 363,

368, 984 P.2d 688, 693 (1999) (Mandamus relief is available to

 

compel an official to perform a duty allegedly owed to an
individual only if the individual's claim is clear and certain,
the official's duty is ministerial and so plainly prescribed as
to be free from doubt, and no other remedy is available.).
Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate
court shall file petitioner's letter as a petition for a writ of
mandamus without payment of the filing fee.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petition for a writ of
mandamus is denied without prejudice to petitioner seeking relief
from the director of public safety.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, June 23, 2008.
