IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI`I
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
WILLIAM R. HAYES, JR. and IRENE Y. HAYES, Petitioners,
vs.
THE HONORABLE GARY W.B. CHANG, JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT
OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT; PEREIRA ENTERPRISES, INC.,
a Hawaii corporation doing business as MERRY MAIDS;
JEANNINE HIPPCHEN-PEREIRA; MERRY MAIDS, INC.;
JAY S. RODRIGUES, and DOES 1-20, Respondents.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(Civ. No. 98-0308-01(GWBC))
ORDER
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama,
Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.)
Upon consideration of the petition for a writ of mandate filed by Petitioners William R. Hayes, Jr. and Irene Y. Hayes and the papers in support, it appears that: (1) Petitioners ask this court to review a ruling issued by the respondent judge in Hayes v. Pereira Enterprises, Inc., Civil No. 98-0308, presently pending in the Circuit Court of the First Circuit; and (2) Petitioners fail to demonstrate that they are entitled to a writ of mandamus. See Straub Clinic & Hospital v. Kochi, 81 Hawai`i 102, 952 P.2d 390 (1996). Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of mandate is denied without prejudice to any remedy Petitioners may have by way of appeal.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, September 5, 2002.
