Heading: The ICA Proceedings

Text: The ICA Motion was filed on September 15, 2008, and was supported by a memorandum and three exhibits, i.e., the Clerk's Certificate, the Circuit Court's Second Amended Order, and the Judgment entered below. Citing Hawai`i Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP), Rule 27, Stop Rail moved this court, for a preliminary injunction directing Defendant-Respondent-Appellee City Clerk to place Petition 53 of 2008 on the November 4, 2008 ballot. Upon this court's initial review, on September 17, 2008, we entered an order establishing an expedited deadline for the City Clerk's response to the ICA Motion. On September 18, 2008, this court entered an order setting the ICA Motion for hearing on September 22, 2008, and requesting that the parties address certain issues through written submissions or at the hearing on the ICA Motion. On September 19, 2008, the City Clerk filed a Memorandum in Opposition to the ICA Motion, supported by declarations of counsel and the City Clerk, as well as fourteen exhibits, including the City Clerk's Memorandum in Opposition to Stop Rail's Motion for Partial Reconsideration by the Circuit Court, the Second Amended Order, the supreme court's order, various correspondence related to the entry of judgment (and a proposed order) by the Circuit Court, the Judgment, and seven exhibits responding to this court's inquiries regarding the disputed Charter provisions. On September 19, 2008, Stop Rail filed a Written Submission, responding to the issues raised in this court's September 18, 2008 order, including clarification that the relief requested in the ICA Motion is governed by HRAP Rule 8(a), and submitting four additional exhibits in support of the ICA Motion, i.e., a copy of the Circuit Court Motion, a copy of the supreme court's order, and two exhibits responding to this court's inquiries regarding the disputed Charter provisions. As noted above, this matter came on for hearing before the court at 10:00 a.m. on September 22, 2008.
