LAVERNE REMBERT, Petitioner,
vs.
HAWAI#I PAROLING AUTHORITY, Respondent Agency,
and
STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CASE NO. 1PC041002384)
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner Laverne Rembert’s
petition for writ of mandamus, filed on October 3, 2019, the
documents attached thereto and submitted in support thereof, and
the record, it appears that alternative means are available for
petitioner to seek relief. See HRPP Rule 40(a)(2). Petitioner,
therefore, is not entitled to the requested extraordinary writ
from this court. 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 writ of
mandamus is denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, October 25, 2019.
