IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI‘I





RICHARD BLAISDELL, Petitioner,


vs.

STATE OF HAWAI‘I, Respondent.



ORIGINAL PROCEEDING



ORDER
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)

Petitioner Richard Blaisdell, by papers dated December 8, 2008, petitions this court to invoke its original jurisdiction to issue a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to HRS § 660-3 (1993). The relief requested in the December 8, 2008 papers is the same relief that petitioner requested in papers dated October 25, 2008 and filed with this court in No. 29458. We disposed of No. 29458 on November 12, 2008 by denying petitioner habeas corpus relief, without prejudice to seeking such relief in the circuit court pursuant to HRS § 660-3. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate court shall file petitioner's December 8, 2008 papers as a 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 dismissed.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai‘i, December 22, 2008.
