Shimauchi v. Rei - Certiorari Application Rejected
Summary
The Hawaii Supreme Court rejected the certiorari application filed by Iris Shizu Shimauchi in the matter of Shimauchi v. Rei. The application, filed March 18, 2026, was denied without opinion. This order leaves intact the Intermediate Court of Appeals decision (CAAP-24-0000143) and the underlying circuit court judgment (1CCV-23-0001480).
“Petitioner's Application for Writ of Certiorari, filed on March 18, 2026, is hereby rejected.”
What changed
The Hawaii Supreme Court declined to review the intermediate appellate court's decision in Shimauchi v. Rei. This denial concludes the appellate process at the state supreme court level for this case.
For the parties, the underlying circuit court judgment and intermediate court decision are now final and unappealable at the state level. There is no further action required by the court.
