IN THE
SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI‘I
CHRIS
GRINDLING, Petitioner,
vs.
ALAN NOUCHI,
WARDEN OF THE MAUI COMMUNITY
CORRECTIONAL
CENTER, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CR. NO. 07-1-0533)
ORDER
(By: Moon,
C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)
Upon consideration of the petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed by
petitioner Chris Grindling and the papers in
support, it appears that habeas corpus relief is available to
petitioner in the circuit court and petitioner presents no
special reason for invoking the supreme court's original jurisdiction. See Oili v. Chang, 57 Haw. 511,
512, 557 P.2d
787, 788 (1976). Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED that the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is denied without
prejudice to seeking habeas
corpus relief in the circuit court.
DATED: Honolulu,
Hawai‘i, February 22, 2008.
