NO. 30342 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I RICHARD BLAISDELL, Petitioner, vs. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, Respondent. ORIGINAL PROCEEDING ORDER (By: Moon, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, Duffy, and Recktenwald, JJ.) Upon consideration of petitioner Richard Blaisdell s petition for a writ of mandamus, which we treat as a petition for a declaratory judgment, it appears that issuance of a declaratory judgment on the constitutionality and enforceability of Act 75, 26th Leg., Reg. Sess. (2009) is not within the original jurisdiction of the supreme court. (Supp. 2009) and 632-1 (1993). See HRS §§ 602-5 Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a declaratory judgment is dismissed. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, February 25, 2010.
