Background
Bonny Evans sought review of proceedings arising from two underlying cases, Case Nos. 3DTA-24-00238 and 3DTC-23-022007, which were associated with Intermediate Court of Appeals docket Nos. CAAP-24-0000387 and CAAP-24-0000389.
Evans filed an application for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the State of Hawaiʻi on June 19, 2026. The court’s brief order does not describe the underlying facts, the issues presented, or the Intermediate Court of Appeals’ reasoning.
The Court’s Holding
The Hawaiʻi Supreme Court rejected Evans’s application for a writ of certiorari. The court therefore declined to review the matter.
The order offers no substantive analysis and does not state a reason for rejecting the application. It was issued by Chief Justice Vladimir P. Devens and Justices Sabrina S. McKenna, Todd W. Eddins, and Lisa M. Ginoza, with Circuit Judge Ronald G. Johnson assigned because of a vacancy.
Key Takeaways
- The Hawaiʻi Supreme Court rejected Evans’s certiorari application.
- The court did not address the merits or explain why it declined review.
- The order leaves the Intermediate Court of Appeals proceedings undisturbed.
Why It Matters
The order ends Evans’s attempt to obtain discretionary review in the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court in this matter. Because the court provided no merits analysis, the order supplies no new substantive rule or reasoning for future cases.
