What changed

The Supreme Court of the State of Hawaiʻi, in an order dated March 5, 2026, rejected the application for a writ of certiorari filed by Petitioners/Defendants-Appellants William F. McKenzie, William F. McKenzie, M.D., Inc., Marilyn Ladao, Lyndsey Ladao, and Kyle Ladao. This rejection signifies that the Supreme Court will not review the decision of the Intermediate Court of Appeals in this matter.
