           IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I

                    DENNIS FLORER, Petitioner,

                                 vs.

  THE HONORABLE CHRISTINE KURIYAMA, JUDGE OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT
        COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent Judge,

                                 and

                   STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent.

                        ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
                        (CR. NO. 14-1-0229)

           ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
 (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)

          Upon consideration of Petitioner Dennis Florer’s

petition for a writ of mandamus, filed on July 2, 2015, the

documents attached thereto and submitted in support thereof, and

the record, it appears that Petitioner fails to demonstrate that

he has a clear and indisputable right to the requested relief or

that he lacks alternative means to seek relief.      A writ of

mandamus is, therefore, not warranted.     See Kema v. Gaddis, 91

Hawai#i 200, 204-05, 982 P.2d 334, 338-39 (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 petition for a writ of

mandamus is denied.

          DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, August 6, 2015.
