NO. 24403 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I _________________________________________________________________ KITV-4 and the HONOLULU STAR-BULLETIN, Petitioners, vs. THE HONORABLE COLLEEN HIRAI, JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT, STATE OF HAWAI#I; TRUSTEES OF THE ESTATE OF JAMES CAMPBELL, DECEASED; BENEFICIARIES OF THE ESTATE OF JAMES CAMPBELL, DECEASED; AND, ASHFORD & WRISTON, A LAW PARTNERSHIP, Respondents. _________________________________________________________________ ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (Equity No. 2388) ORDER (By: Levinson, J.) Upon consideration of the petition for leave to file brief of amicus curiae in support of Petitioners’ petition for a writ of mandamus, the papers in support, and the records and files herein, it appears that this court entered an order on July 20, 2001 denying the petition for writ of mandamus without prejudice to any remedy Petitioners may have by way of appeal, and the instant petition for leave to file an amicus brief is moot. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition is denied. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, July 23, 2001. STEVEN H. LEVINSON Associate Justice
