No. 30342 (Haw. Feb. 25, 2010)

Opinion

No. 30342

February 25, 2010.

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

By: MOON, C.J., NAKAYAMA, ACOBA, DUFFY, and RECKTENWALD, JJ.


ORDER

Upon consideration of petitioner Richard Blaisdell's "petition for a writ of mandamus," which we treat as a petition for a declaratory judgment, it appears that issuance of a declaratory judgment on the constitutionality and enforceability of Act 75, 26th Leg., Reg. Sess. (2009) is not within the original jurisdiction of the supreme court. See HRS §§ 602-5 (Supp. 2009) and 632-1 (1993). Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a declaratory judgment is dismissed.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, February 25, 2010.
