Background
Petitioners Lawrence Ford, John Koontz, Don Davis, Phillip Koszarek, William Robert Gage, Jr., and Rebecca S. Gage sought review by the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai‘i.
They filed an application for a writ of certiorari on June 18, 2026. The order identifies two Intermediate Court of Appeals case numbers, CAAP-25-0000005 and CAAP-25-0000004, and circuit court case number 3CCV-23-0000200, but provides no description of the underlying dispute or the Intermediate Court of Appeals’ ruling.
The Court’s Holding
The Hawai‘i Supreme Court rejected the petitioners’ application for a writ of certiorari.
The order does not explain the court’s reasoning or address the merits of the underlying case.
Key Takeaways
- The petitioners’ June 18, 2026 certiorari application was rejected.
- The order provides no substantive analysis or explanation for the disposition.
- The order does not describe the underlying dispute or the ruling for which review was sought.
Why It Matters
The rejection ends the petitioners’ attempt to obtain Hawai‘i Supreme Court review through this certiorari application. Because the court issued a summary order without reasoning, the order establishes no stated substantive holding beyond the denial of further review.
