Electronically Filed Supreme Court SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX 22-MAY-2025 07:55 AM Dkt. 7 ODDP

SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAIʻI ________________________________________________________________ IN RE ELDEN PAULINE ________________________________________________________________ ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (CASE NO. 1CPN-XX-XXXXXXX) ORDER DENYING PETITION (By: Recktenwald, C.J., McKenna, Eddins, Ginoza, and Devens, JJ.)

Upon consideration of the letter filed April 15, 2025, which we construe as a petition for writ of mandamus, the motion filed on May 19, 2025, and the record, an extraordinary writ is unwarranted because Petitioner has not demonstrated a clear and indisputable right to relief, nor a lack of alternative means to seek relief. See Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP v. Kim, 153 Hawaiʻi 307, 319, 537 P.3d 1154, 1166 (2023).

It is ordered that the petition is denied.

It is further ordered that the motion is denied without prejudice to Petitioner seeking relief in the circuit court through counsel, as appropriate. The appellate clerk shall serve Petitioner’s counsel, Daniel Kawamoto, Esq., with a copy of the petition, motion, and this order.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, May 22, 2025.
