ORDER DENYING PETITIONS AND MOTION FOR STAY
(By: Devens, C.J., McKenna, Eddins, and Ginoza, JJ.,
and Circuit Judge Holma, assigned by reason of vacancy)
Upon consideration of the petition for writ of mandamus
and/or prohibition filed December 19, 2025, the motion for stay
filed January 8, 2026, the first amended petition for
extraordinary writ filed May 21, 2026, and the record,
Petitioner has not demonstrated a clear and indisputable right
to relief nor a lack of alternative means to obtain the relief
sought, such as seeking relief through normal appellate
procedures. See Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP v. Kim, 153
Hawaiʻi 307, 319, 537 P.3d 1154, 1166 (2023); see also Eaton v.
Eaton, 7 Haw. App. 111, 118–19, 748 P.2d 801, 805 (App. 1987).
It is ordered that the petitions are denied, and the motion
for stay is denied as moot.
It is further ordered:
1. Docket 1 shall remain sealed because docket 1 contains
unredacted personal information (names of minors) in violation
of Rules 2.19 and 9 of the Hawaiʻi Court Records Rules (HCRR).
2. The clerk shall file a redacted docket 1.
3. Docket 5 is stricken because the docket contains
unredacted personal information in violation of HCRR Rules 2.19
and 9.
4. Docket 12 shall remain sealed because the docket
contains a notice or order to withhold income, which is required
to be sealed upon filing. See Hawaiʻi Family Court Rules (HFCR)
Rule 7.2(a)(2) (eff. 2022); see also Hawaiʻi Rules of Appellate
Procedure Rule 2.1(a) (adopting the HFCR, among other court
rules, as part of these rules whenever applicable).
