Electronically Filed Supreme Court SCPW-12-0000432 17-MAY-2012 02:17 PM NO. SCPW-12-0000432 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I MICHAEL TIERNEY, Petitioner, vs. INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent. ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (ICA No. 29993) ORDER (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, Duffy, and McKenna, JJ.) Upon consideration of petitioner Michael Tierney's petition for a writ of mandamus, it appears that petitioner fails to demonstrate a clear and indisputable right to relief. Therefore, petitioner is not entitled to mandamus relief. 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 a writ of mandamus is denied. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, May 17, 2012. /s/ Mark E. Recktenwald /s/ Paula A. Nakayama /s/ Simeon R. Acoba, Jr. /s/ James E. Duffy, Jr. /s/ Sabrina S. McKenna
