ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
‘ORDER

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

   

Upon consideration of Zachary Chincio's papers dated
October 19, 2008, which are deemed a petition for a writ of
mandamus, it appears that petitioner can seek relief from his
conviction in Cr. No, 00-1-2483 by filing a petition for post-
conviction relief in the circuit court pursuant to Hawai'i Rules
of Penal Procedure Rule 40. Therefore, petitioner is not
entitled to mandamus relief. See Kena v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai'i 200,
204, 982 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
obtain the requested action.). Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate
court shall file the 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.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, November 12, 2008.
