SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
JANE J. P. LIU, Petitioner,
vs.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Wilson, and Eddins, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner Jane J. P. Liu’s
petition for writ of mandamus, filed on January 26, 2022, and the
record, based on the information presented to this court,
petitioner fails to demonstrate that she is entitled to the
requested extraordinary writ. 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 ordered that the petition for writ of mandamus is
denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, February 3, 2022.
