Recktenwald, C.J., McKenna, Eddins, and Devens, JJ., and Circuit Judge Nakamoto, in place of Ginoza, J., recused
ORDER DENYING PETITION
Upon consideration of the "Motion to Compel Discharge of Movant Pursuant to Ex Parte Lange, 85 U.S. 163 (1874) in effect May 16, 1979" (Motion), filed on March 11, 2024, and the record, we construe the Motion as a petition for writ of habeas corpus. So construed, Petitioner has not demonstrated a special reason for this court to invoke its original jurisdiction in a habeas corpus proceeding. See Oili v. Chang, 57 Haw. 411, 412, 557 P.2d 787, 788 (1976).
It is ordered that the petition is denied.
