IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
WAILA SARCEDO, Petitioner,
vs.
DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(FC-S NO. 18-00077)
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
AND RELATED FILINGS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Wilson, and Eddins, JJ.)
On November 10, 2021, the appellate clerks’ office
received and filed the following documents on behalf of
petitioner Waila Sarcedo: (1) a petition for writ of habeas
corpus; (2) a motion to dismiss; (3) a petition for redress and
grievances; (4) petitioner’s declaration; (5) a notice of motion
to void judgments; and (6) a notice of intent to Hawai#i
legislature and government workers. Upon consideration of the
petition for writ of habeas corpus and the related filings,
petitioner presents no special reason for this court to invoke
its jurisdiction and has alternative means to seek relief,
including seeking relief in the pending appeal, the family court,
or the civil cases filed in the circuit court, as provided by
law. 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 the related filings are denied.
It is further ordered that the clerk of the appellate
court shall process this original proceeding without payment of
the filing fees.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, November 23, 2021.
