                                vs.


    THE HONORABLE SHACKLEY F. RAFFETTO, JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT

   COURT OF THE SECOND CIRCUIT, STATE OF HAWAI'I, Respondent.


                       ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

                              ORDER

(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, Duffy, and McKenna, JJ.)


          Upon consideration of petitioner Chris Grindling's

petition for a writ of mandamus, the respondent judge's answer,

and the record of S.P.P. No. 10-1-0011, it appears that S.P.P.

No. 10-1-0011 was disposed of on February 3, 2012.     Petitioner's

request for mandamus relief is moot.   Therefore,

          IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of

mandamus is denied as moot.

          DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, February 21, 2012.
