Background
135 Kaka LLC brought an action against Di Wu in Hawai‘i circuit court. The matter proceeded to the Intermediate Court of Appeals under appellate docket number CAAP-24-0000187.
Wu, the defendant-appellee and certiorari petitioner, applied to the Hawai‘i Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari on July 14, 2026. The order does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the Intermediate Court of Appeals’ decision, or the arguments in Wu’s application.
The Court’s Holding
The Hawai‘i Supreme Court rejected Wu’s application for a writ of certiorari.
The court issued no merits analysis and stated no reason for rejecting review. Its order therefore does not establish a substantive holding concerning the parties’ underlying dispute.
Key Takeaways
- The Hawai‘i Supreme Court declined to review the case.
- The order contains no analysis of the underlying claims or appellate issues.
- Because certiorari was rejected, the Intermediate Court of Appeals’ disposition remains undisturbed.
Why It Matters
The order ends Wu’s effort to obtain discretionary review from the Hawai‘i Supreme Court in this proceeding, leaving the case as resolved below.
Attorneys should not treat the brief order as precedent on the underlying merits because the court neither addressed those merits nor explained its rejection of certiorari.
