IN RE FRANCIS GRANDINETTI
________________________________________________________________
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(CASE NO. 3CPC-XX-XXXXXXX)
ORDER DENYING PETITIONS
(By: Devens, C.J., McKenna, Eddins, and Ginoza, JJ.,
and Circuit Judge Bernard Lee, assigned by reason of vacancy)
On March 17, 2026, three documents from Francis Grandinetti
(Petitioner) were filed in this court and titled: (1) “HRAP
Agency Injunction Application and Agency Mandamus Application:
Police-Corruption and ‘Ticket-fixing’ case”; (2) “Injunction
Application”; and (3) “On Mandamus Application to Vacate, Void,
Reverse, or Remand Hilo DCTC Case with Judge J. Hawk; February
8-10, 2025 arrest case.” We construe these documents as
petitions for extraordinary writ.
Upon consideration of the petitions and the record, an
extraordinary writ is unwarranted because Petitioner has not
demonstrated a clear and indisputable right to relief, nor a
lack of alternative means to obtain the relief sought. See
Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP v. Kim, 153 Hawaiʻi 307, 319, 537
P.3d 1154, 1166 (2023).
It is ordered that the petitions are denied.
It is also ordered:
1. We construe docket 14 as a motion and deny the motion.
2. The clerk shall file a redacted version of docket 20
because docket 20 contains personal information (full account
number) that should have been redacted pursuant to Rules 2.19
and 9 of the Hawaiʻi Court Records Rules.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, November 2, 2026.
