ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CASE NO. 1PC091001448) ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS AND MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
()

Upon consideration of petitioner Tekoa Ikaika Denomie's petition for writ of habeas corpus, filed on September 2, 2020, the motion for summary judgment, filed on September 11, 2020, the respective supporting documents, and the record, it appears that petitioner presents no special reason for this court to invoke its jurisdiction and has alternative means to seek the requested relief. See Oili v. Chang, 54 Haw. 411, 412, 557 P.2d 787, 788 (1976). Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for writ of habeas corpus and motion for summary judgment are denied.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, September 30, 2020.
