The court rejected Issac James Kama's application for writ of certiorari filed March 6, 2026, in a dispute with Azure M. Skellington that involved family court proceedings.
Kama's petition challenged proceedings in the Family Court of the First Circuit and named several court officials as defendants, including judges Lesley N. Maloian, Kimberly Libokmeto, Sandra M.N. You, and Robert Mark Browning.
The case had been appealed to the Intermediate Court of Appeals before reaching the Hawaii Supreme Court. Kama represented himself in the proceedings.
The court's April 13, 2026 order provided no explanation for the rejection. Acting Chief Justice Sabrina S. McKenna and Justices Todd W. Eddins, Lisa M. Ginoza, Vladimir P. Devens, and Circuit Judge Rowena A. Somerville participated in the decision.
