NO. 29458
IN THE
SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI‘I
RICHARD BLAISDELL, Petitioner,
vs.
CORRECTIONS
CORPORATION OF AMERICA, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
ORDER
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama,
Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)
Upon consideration of Richard Blaisdell's papers dated October 25,
2008, which are deemed a petition for a writ of habeas
corpus, 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 clerk of the appellate court shall file the petition
for a writ of habeas corpus without
payment of the filing fee.
IT IS FURTHER
ORDERED that the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is denied without
prejudice to seeking habeas
corpus relief in the circuit court pursuant to HRS § 660-3 (1993).
DATED: Honolulu,
Hawai‘i, November 12, 2008.
