Background
Hailey Dandurand sought review in the Supreme Court of Hawaii following proceedings in the Intermediate Court of Appeals, docketed as CAAP-23-0000753, arising from Circuit Court case number 1CPC-17-0001731.
Dandurand filed her application for a writ of certiorari on July 1, 2026. The brief order does not describe the underlying criminal allegations, the lower courts’ rulings, or the issues presented for review.
The Court’s Holding
The Supreme Court of Hawaii rejected Dandurand’s application for a writ of certiorari.
The court provided no reasoning and did not address the merits of Dandurand’s claims. The order therefore leaves the Intermediate Court of Appeals proceedings undisturbed without establishing a substantive holding on the underlying issues.
Key Takeaways
- The Hawaii Supreme Court declined to review Dandurand’s case.
- The order contains no analysis of the issues raised in the certiorari application.
- The rejection does not constitute a merits ruling on Dandurand’s underlying claims.
Why It Matters
The order ends Dandurand’s effort to obtain discretionary review from the Hawaii Supreme Court in this proceeding. Because the court gave no explanation, the order offers no new substantive guidance for future criminal cases or certiorari applications.
