ORDER


Upon consideration of petitioner Richard Rapozo's petition for a writ of mandamus, it appears that petitioner fails to demonstrate that the circuit court is required to provide petitioner with the legal resources he seeks. Therefore, petitioner is not entitled to mandamus relief.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 a writ of mandamus is denied. The denial is without prejudice to petitioner seeking relief from the Department of Public Safety.
