NO. 29528
IN THE
SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI‘I
CHAD E.
GABRIS, Petitioner,
vs.
DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC SAFETY, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
ORDER
(By: Moon,
C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)
Upon consideration of Chad E. Gabris's papers dated December 2, 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, December 19, 2008.
