SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI‘I
IN THE MATTER OF DOROTHY UWEKOOLANI,
also known as Mrs. William Moanaliha Uwekoolani Jr., Petitioner.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Wilson, and Eddins, JJ.)
Upon consideration of the submissions to this court from
Dorothy Uwekoolani, originally filed in SCOT-XX-XXXXXXX on
October 18 and 24, 2022, we deem them to be, in total, a
petition for a writ of mandamus against the Board of Water
Supply for Maui County, the State of Hawaiʻi Commission on Water
Resource Management, and the Department of Hawaiian Homelands,
but further find and conclude that the petitioner has failed to
demonstrate a clear and indisputable right to relief and the
lack of an alternate remedy. See State ex rel. Kaneshiro v.
Huddy, 82 Hawaiʻi 188, 193, 921 P.2d 108, 113 (1996). Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that the clerk of the court shall waive the
filing fee for the petition.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petition is denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, October 27, 2022.
