MARIA SOMMERS v. CITIMORTGAGE ET AL (2016)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

Upon consideration of petitioner Maria Sommers's petition for writ of mandamus, filed on December 8, 2016, and the record, it appears that petitioner fails to demonstrate that she is entitled to the requested “separate judgment” or a stay on any further rulings, or that she lacks alternative means to seek relief. Petitioner, therefore, is not entitled to the requested writ of mandamus. See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai‘i 200, 204-05, 982 P.2d 334, 338-39 (1999) (a writ of mandamus is an extraordinary remedy that 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). Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
