NO. 24689 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I _________________________________________________________________ RUSSELL BLAIR, Petitioner, vs. JEREMY HARRIS, Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu; MAZIE HIRONO, Lieutenant Governor of the State of Hawai#i; JON YOSHIMURA, Councilmember, City and County of Honolulu; and DUKE BAINUM, Councilmember, City and County of Honolulu, Respondents. _________________________________________________________________ ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (By: ORDER Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.)

Upon consideration of Petitioner Russell Blair's petition for a writ of mandamus, the papers in support, and the records and files herein, it appears that: (1) a writ of

mandamus will not issue unless the petitioner demonstrates a clear and indisputable right to relief and a lack of alternative means to redress adequately the alleged wrong or obtain the requested action. Barnett v. Broderick, 84 Hawai#i 109, 929 P.2d

1359 (1996); and (2) Petitioner fails to demonstrate that he is entitled to a writ of mandamus; and (3) Petitioner has alternative means to seek review. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of mandamus is denied without prejudice to any other judicial remedy Petitioner may have. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, December 5, 2001.
