    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
    OKHOO HANES, Petitioner,
    vs.
    THE HONORABLE HILARY B. GANGNES, Judge of the
    District Court of the First Circuit, Respondent Judge,
    and
    SCOTTRADE, INC. and ED BARAOIDAN, Respondents.
    ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
    (CIV. NO. 1SC17-1-2015)
    ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
    AND/OR PROHIBITION
    (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ., and
    Circuit Judge Browning, in place of McKenna, J., recused)
    Upon consideration of petitioner Okhoo Hanes’s petition
    for writ of mandamus and/or prohibition, filed on June 1, 2018,
    the documents attached thereto and submitted in support thereof,
    and the record, it appears that petitioner fails to demonstrate
    that she is entitled to the requested relief sought by way of an
    extraordinary writ.   See HRS §§ 633-27 and 633-28; 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); Honolulu
    Advertiser, Inc. v. Takao, 
    59 Haw. 237
    , 241, 
    580 P.2d 58
    , 62
    (1978) (a writ of mandamus and a writ of prohibition are
    extraordinary remedies meant to, among other things, restrain a
    judge of an inferior court from acting beyond or in excess of his
    or her jurisdiction; they are not intended to supersede the legal
    discretionary authority of the trial courts or cure a mere legal
    error).   Accordingly,
    IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for writ of
    mandamus and/or prohibition is denied.
    DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, June 15, 2018.
