                 RAYMOND GONSALVES, Petitioner,


                                 vs.


          DISTRICT CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT,

                  STATE OF HAWAI'I, Respondent.


                        ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

    (CASE NOS. 1DTI-06-012226, 1DTI-06-024476, 1DTI-06-119492,

 1DTI-06-120263, 1DTC-06-013780, 1DTI-07-036645, 1DTI-07-032679,

                              ORDER

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


          Upon consideration of petitioner Raymond Gonsalves'

petition for a writ of mandamus and the papers in support, it

appears that petitioner fails to demonstrate a clear and

indisputable right to relief.    Therefore, petitioner is not

entitled to mandamus relief.    See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai'i 200,

204, 982 P.2d 334, 338 (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 clerk of appellate court


shall process the petition for writ of mandamus without payment


of the filing fee.


          IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petition for a writ of


mandamus is denied.


          DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, October 14, 2011.
