IN RE CHRIS SLAVICK, Petitioner.


ORIGINAL PROCEEDING ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
()

Upon consideration of petitioner Chris Slavick's petition for writ of mandamus, filed on December 28, 2020, it appears that, based on the record before this court, petitioner fails to demonstrate that he has a clear and indisputable right to relief and that he lacks alternative means to seek relief. Petitioner, therefore, is not entitled to the requested extraordinary writ. See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai'i 200, 204, 982 P.2d 334, 338 (1999) (a writ of mandamus is an extraordinary remedy that will not issue unless the petitioner demonstrates a clear and indisputable right to relief and a lack of alternative means to redress adequately the alleged wrong or obtain the requested action). Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.

IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate court shall process the petition for writ of mandamus without payment of the filing fee.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, January 7, 2021.
