ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

(1DRC-XX-XXXXXXX)

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

Upon consideration of the petition for writ of mandamus, filed on October 24, 2022, and the record, Petitioners have not demonstrated a clear and indisputable right to relief and a lack of alternative means to seek relief. An extraordinary writ is not warranted. See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawaiʻi 200, 204-05, 982 P.2d 334, 338-39 (1999). Accordingly, It is ordered that the petition is denied. DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, November 28, 2022.
