NO. 29577



IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI‘I





JOAQUIN AYRES COSTA RICA VI, Petitioner,

vs.

COUNTY OF KAUAI, Respondent.




ORIGINAL PROCEEDING




ORDER
(By: Moon, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.
and Intermediate Court of Appeals Judge Foley,
assigned by reason of vacancy)

Upon review of Joaquin Ayres Costa Rica's papers dated January 9, 2009, which purport to be a petition for writ of mandamus, it appears that the petition seeks supreme court review of Civil No. 03-1-0084. We lack jurisdiction to review Civil No. 03-1-0084. See HRS § 602-5 (Supp. 2007). Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate court shall process the January 9, 2009 papers as a petition for writ of mandamus without payment of the filing fee.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai‘i, January 23, 2009.
