Electronically Filed Supreme Court SCPW-20-0000130 13-APR-2020 11:58 AM SCPW-20-0000130 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I IN RE MICHAEL DOYLE RUGGLES, Petitioner. ORIGINAL PROCEEDING ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE RENEWED PETITION FOR EXTRAORDINARY WRIT (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, J.J.) Upon consideration of petitioner Michael Doyle Ruggles’s renewed petition for an extraordinary writ, filed on March 10, 2020, the documents attached thereto and submitted in support thereof, and the record, it appears that petitioner is currently seeking relief from the State of Hawai#i Department of Health and fails to demonstrate at this time that he is entitled to the requested extraordinary writ from this court. See, e.g., Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai#i 200, 204, 982 P.2d 334, 338 (1999) (a writ for extraordinary relief, such as a writ of mandamus or a writ of prohibition, will generally 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 renewed petition for an extraordinary writ is denied without prejudice. IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate court shall process the renewed petition for an extraordinary writ without payment of the filing fee. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, April 13, 2020. /s/ Mark E. Recktenwald /s/ Paula A. Nakayama /s/ Sabrina S. McKenna /s/ Richard W. Pollack /s/ Michael D. Wilson 2
