IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI I
KAWIKA JOSHUA DRUMMONDO, Petitioner,
vs.
STATE OF HAWAI I, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CR. NO. 17-1-1350)
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, and Pollack, JJ.,
with Wilson, J., concurring)
Upon consideration of petitioner Kawika Joshua
Drummondo’s “Motion to Release Non-Violent Community Custody
Prisoner From Custody with Special Terms and Conditions Amid The
Coronavirus COVID-19 BioTerrorism Pandemic,” which was filed as a
petition for writ of habeas corpus on June 1, 2020, and the
record, it appears that petitioner presents no special reason for
this court to invoke its jurisdiction and has alternative means
to seek relief. 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 is denied.
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the clerk of the
appellate court shall process the petition for writ of habeas
corpus without payment of the filing fee.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai i, June 24, 2020.
