ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
By: Moon, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ., and Intermediate Court of Appeals Judge Nakamura, assigned by reason of vacancy.
ORDER
Petitioner Janice K. M. Chung Keliihananui's letter and "brief" dated August 7, 2009 were received and filed in the supreme court on September 14, 2009 and are deemed a motion for reconsideration of the April 21, 2009 order denying petitioner's petition for a writ of mandamus. The deadline for filing a motion for reconsideration of the April 21, 2009 order expired on May 1, 2009. See HRAP 40(a) ("A motion for reconsideration may be filed by a party only within 10 days after the filing of the opinion, dispositional order, or ruling unless by special leave additional time is granted during such period by a judge or justice of the appellate court involved."). Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion for reconsideration is dismissed as untimely.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, September 29, 2009.
