Upon consideration of Petitioner Clyde Arakawa s application for a writ of mandamus, the papers in support, and the records and files herein, it appears that: (1) Petitioner fails to demonstrate that he is entitled to a writ of mandamus; and (2) Petitioner will have a remedy by way of appeal if he is convicted of the charged offense. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the application for a writ of mandamus is denied without prejudice to any remedy Petitioner may have by way of appeal. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, January 30, 2002.
