    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
    THOMAS RUSSI AND CHRISTINE RUSSI, Petitioners,
    vs.
    COMMISSION ON JUDICIAL CONDUCT, Respondent.
    ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
    ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
    (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)
    Upon review of the May 25, 2019 email from Thomas and
    Christine Russi to the Chief Justice of this court, which on
    June 25, 2019, we deemed to be a petition for writ of mandamus
    which seeks relief from a May 22, 2019 disposition by the
    Commission on Judicial Conduct of a complaint submitted earlier
    to the Commission by the Russis, we conclude that nothing in the
    record demonstrates the Commission committed a manifest and
    flagrant abuse of discretion of the authority delegated to it by
    this court through Rule 8 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of
    the State of Hawai#i.   See State ex. rel. Marsland v. Ames, 
    71 Haw. 304
    , 307, 
    788 P.2d 1281
    , 1283 (1990); see also Barnett v.
    Broderick, 84 Hawai#i 109, 111, 
    929 P.2d 1359
    , 1361 (1996).
    Therefore,
    IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition is denied.
    DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, July 17, 2019.
