Document:
NO. 23564 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I LEONARDO VELASCO, Plaintiff-Appellant vs. SHERYLL PAGLINAWAN and THELMA TUITELELEAPAGA, Defendants-Appellees and JOHN DOES 1-10, JANE DOES 1-10, and DOE ENTITIES 1-10, Defendants APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT (CIV. NO. 98-2860) ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL (By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.) Upon review of the record, it appears that: (1) the June 6, 2000 order dismissing the plaintiff’s claims against the defendants has not been reduced to a separate judgment, as required by Rule 58 of the Hawai#i Rules of Civil Procedure; and thus, (2) this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. See Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming & Wright, 76 Hawai#i 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994). Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, October 26, 2000.
