NO. 25336 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I _________________________________________________________________ TERRY M. TURNER, Petitioner, vs. TED SAKAI, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY, and ALFRED BEAVER, SR., CHAIR, HAWAII PAROLING AUTHORITY, STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondents. ________________________________________________________________ PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS (By: ORDER Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.) Upon consideration of Petitioner Terry M. Turner s petition for a writ of habeas corpus, the papers in support, and the records and files herein, it appears that an appellate court ordinarily will not exercise its original jurisdiction in habeas corpus proceedings where relief is available in the lower court. Oili v. Chang, 57 Haw. 411, 587 P.2d 787 (1976). Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is denied without prejudice to any other remedy available to Petitioner. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, November 4, 2002.
