SCPW-XX-XXXXXXX
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI‘I
DOROTHY KULIK, Petitioner,
vs.
COMMISSION ON JUDICIAL CONDUCT, Respondent,
and
THE HONORABLE MICHAEL K. SOONG,
Judge of the District Court of the Fifth Circuit,
State of Hawaiʻi, Respondent Judge.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(5DTP-22-009571)
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., McKenna, and Eddins, JJ.,
Circuit Judge Park and Circuit Judge Kawashima,
assigned by reason of vacancies)
Upon consideration of the Fourth Supplemental Declaration
and appended exhibit, submitted by Petitioner Dorothy Kulik and
filed by the clerk in this matter on October 2, 2023, and the
record in both State v. Dorothy Kulik, 5DTP-22-009571 and the
instant case, most particularly the September 25, 2023 order of
this court, which denied Kulik’s petition and subsequent
Declarations, we deem the October 2, 2023 submission a motion
for reconsideration, timely submitted pursuant to Rule 40 of the
Hawaiʻi Rules of Appellate Procedure. Upon review, we conclude
the Petitioner has failed to demonstrate that this court
overlooked or misapprehended any facts or points of law that
would establish she has a clear and indisputable right to relief
from this court for the remedies she seeks. See Kema v. Gaddis,
91 Hawaiʻi 200, 204, 982 P.2d 334, 338 (1999)). Therefore,
It is odered that the motion for reconsideration is denied.
It is further ordered that the denial of this instant
motion for reconsideration closes this case. The clerk shall
not accept further filings in this case.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, October 11, 2023.
