                            Appellees,

         CERTIORARI TO THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS 

          (ICA NOS. 29454 and 29589; CIV NO. 06-1-0228) 

        ORDER REJECTING APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI 

(By: Nakayama, Acting C.J., McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ., and

 Circuit Judge Garibaldi, in place of Recktenwald, C.J., recused) 

          Respondents and Petitioners/Defendants-Appellees and

Cross-Appellants HSC, Inc., Richard Henderson, Sr., and Eleanor

R.J. Henderson’s Application for Writ of Certiorari, filed on
October 26, 2015, is hereby rejected.     It is further ordered

that the Petition for Writ of Mandamus, filed on October 26,

2015, is hereby denied as Petitioners failed to demonstrate that

they are entitled to such relief.     See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawaiʻi

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).

          DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, December 9, 2015.
