STATE OF HAWAIʻI, Petitioner, v. THE HONORABLE SHANLYN A.S. PARK, Judge of the Circuit Court of the First Circuit, State of Hawaiʻi, Respondent Judge, and LAMARR A. JONES, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (CASE NO. 1CPC-22-0001595)
By: Recktenwald, C.J., McKenna, Eddins, Ginoza, and Devens, JJ.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR EXTRAORDINARY WRIT
Upon consideration of the petition for extraordinary writ, filed on May 29, 2024, and the record, an extraordinary writ is unwarranted. See Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP v. Kim (Womble), 153 Hawai'i 307, 319, 537 P.3d 1154, 1166 (2023).
We also decline to provide a declaratory ruling about whether an order granting a bill of particulars may be appealed. A proceeding for an extraordinary writ is intended to provide relief for extraordinary circumstances. It is not intended to provide a declaratory ruling such as that requested by the State. See Womble, 153 Hawai'i at 319, 537 P.3d at 1166.
It is ordered that the petition is denied.
