IN THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS OF HAWAI’I
ICA DOCKET NUMBER: 29643
ANDY MARTIN,
Appellant,
HON. LINDA LINGLE, in her official capacity as Governor; DR. CHIYOME FUKINO, in her official capacity as Director of the Department of Health,
Appellees.
MOTION TO EXPEDITE APPEAL
1. Although appellant is proceeding pro se and is not an expert in Hawai’i appellate procedure, he does have considerable experience with appellate tribunals. The instant appeal poses an important question of national public policy and historical inquiry: should Hawai’i officials be required to make available for biographical research and scholarly inquiry the original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate of President Barack Obama? 2. Appellant has written one book on Barack Obama, Obama: The Man Behind The Mask, which is (or should be) part of the record on appeal, has conducted extensive original research in Hawai’i and is preparing to author a second book on the president. Appellant in sponsoring a national conference on missing records involving the president, www.NationalConferenceonObama.blogspot.com. 3. With all due respect to the district Judge, it is difficult to see how a basic historical record, the original “ribbon” copy of the birth certificate of the President of the United States, can or should be concealed from scholarly inquiry or the American people. 4. Appellant has been in contact with the Hawai’i Attorney General and that office opposes expediting this appeal, see attached. 5. Because there is a time lag between filing in this Court and Appellant receiving Notice, he does not know if the record on appeal has been filed yet. In any event, the record is due to be filed or has been filed. 6. This appeal represents review of a straightforward question of law. There was a single hearing in the district court; on information and belief there were and are no disputed questions of fact. CONCLUSION Most respectfully, Appellant asks this Court consider the historical significance of this litigation, and to enter an order setting an expedited briefing and argument schedule.
Respectfully submitted,
ANDY MARTIN

That he knows there is still a chance that he may be short-lived history may explain his haste to achieve his goals (probably growing by the day) quickly, thus attracting so much attention.
Myself, from what I’ve seen of human nature,thus far, I suspect he can take his time....
How embarrassing. Obama is going to embarrass the USA more than Bush ever did with his speech impediment.
Correction: Hawai’i >> Hawaii
Apology accepted.
Wow. That is just so trendy and cool. I wish I could be so trendy and cool. It is really dull and backward to plain old type it correctly, huh?
Hawaii. According to the trendy and cool people even Google got it wrong.
“The Hawaii Attorney General opposes release.”
The fix is in.
I’m glad we have you out there to keep an eye on us.
If he’s going to be removed, this will be the vehicle used. At some point, the group behind him will decide that he’s a liability to them and they’ll give the signal to the courts that it’ll be OK to hear these cases, which will surely go against him.
National Conference on Missing Birth certificate in Washington next week......?
No prob. Apparently they don’t teach spelling too well out there.
Hawai’i court is asked to expedite Obama birth certificate appeal
Let’s hope THIS gets somewhere!
"Hawai'i" is how the Hawaiian-speaking, native Hawaiians in Hawaii spell it. It's their language. It's their spelling rules.

Anyone else out there interested in attending?
That ceertainly is an accurate, clear description of the document that leaves little doubt of what the issue is all about.
Alright all you sooooo cool and smart Freepers.
according to the hawaiian dictionary (pukui/elbert), the correct spelling is:
Hawai’i.
“for many years hawaiian dictionary has been the definitive and authoritative work on the hawaiian language. now this indispensable reference volume has been enlarged and completely revised. more than 3,000 new entries have been added to the hawaiian-english section bringing the total number of entries to almost 30,000, and making it the largest and most complete of any polynesian dictionary. other addititins and changes in this section include: a method of showing stress groups to facilitate pronunciation of hawaiian words with more than three syllables; indication of parts of speech; current scientific names of plants; use of metric measurements; additional reconstructions;; classical origins of loan words; and many added cross-refernces to enhance understanding of the numerous nuances of hawaiian words.
the english-hawaiian section, a complement and supplement to the hawiian-english section, contains more than 12,500 entries and can serve as an index to hidden riches in the hawaiian language. this new edition is more than a dictionary. containig folklore, poetry, and ethnology, it will benefit hawaiian studies for years to come.”
“mary kawena pukui, in the course of her long career at the bishop museum, translated innumerable hawaiian legends, chants, and archival materials. among her many publications are ‘olelo no’eau: hawiian proverbs and poetical sayings and the echo of our song: chants and poems of the hawaiians, co-authored with alfons l. korn.
samuel h. elbert, professor emeritus of pacific languages and linguistics, has been the resident authority on polynesian languages at the university of hawai’i for more than thirty-five years. he is the author of spoken hawaiian, puluwat dictionary, dictionary of the langusges of rennell and bellona, and other books on polynesian languages. dr. elbert and mrs. pukui are the co-authors of hawaiian grammar, the definitive grammar of the hawiian language, and, with esther t. mo’okini, the pocket hawaiian dictionary, with a concise hawaiian grammar, and place names of hawai’i.”

So before you mock someone, please recognize this is an OFFICIAL court document. THerefore the OFFICAL Hawaiian way of spelling is appropriate.
