IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
DEMONT R. D. CONNER, CHAIR OF HO#OMANAPONO
POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE, Petitioner,
vs.
THE HONORABLE BLAINE KOBAYASHI, Judge of the District Court of
the Second Circuit, State of Hawai#i, Respondent Judge,
and
STATE OF HAWAI#I and SAMUEL KALEIKOA KAEO, Respondents.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CASE NO. 2DCW-17-0002038)
ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner DeMont R. D. Conner’s
petition for writ of mandamus, filed on January 26, 2018, and the
record, it appears that petitioner fails to demonstrate that he
has standing, as a non-party in the underlying criminal
proceeding, to seek the requested extraordinary relief from the
district court’s rulings in the underlying proceeding. See
Kaho#ohanohano v. State, 114 Hawai#i 302, 162 P.3d 696 (2007).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for writ of
mandamus is dismissed.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, February 5, 2018.
