VILLANUEVA, Petitioner,
vs.
STATE OF
HAWAI‘I, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CR.
NO. 05-1-0946)
ORDER
(By: Moon,
C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, Duffy, and Recktenwald, JJ.)
Upon consideration of the petitions for writs of habeas corpus filed by
petitioner Gerald Villanueva in No. 29833 and No. 29849, 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 process the
petitions for writs of habeas corpus without payment of the filing fees.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petitions for writs of habeas corpus
are denied without prejudice to seeking habeas
corpus relief in the circuit court pursuant to HRS § 660-3 (1993).
DATED:
Honolulu, Hawai‘i, June 12, 2009.
