SCPW-13-0001433 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I JOHN WAGNER, Petitioner, vs. ATTORNEY ROBERT KIM, DEPUTY PROSECUTING ATTORNEY LINDA WALTON, THE HONORABLE ELIZABETH STRANCE, CIRCUIT COURT OF THE THIRD CIRCUIT, Respondents. ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (CR. No. 98-227K) ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, McKenna, and Pollack, JJ.) Upon consideration of petitioner John Wagner’s petition for a writ of mandamus, filed May 30, 2013, and the record, it appears that petitioner has alternative means to seek relief and, therefore, is not entitled to a writ of mandamus. See Kema 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). Therefore, Electronically Filed Supreme Court SCPW-13-0001433 26-JUN-2013 01:32 PM IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate court shall process the petition for a writ of mandamus without payment of the filing fee. IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the petition for a writ of mandamus is denied. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, June 26, 2013. /s/ Mark E. Recktenwald /s/ Paula A. Nakayama /s/ Simeon R.
