IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAT'T

STATE OF HAWAI'I, Petitioner-Appellee : .

CHARLES MILLER, Respondent~Appellant.

 

APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
(8.P. NO, 04-1-0242)

Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)

 

Upon review of the record, it appears that S.P. No. 04-
1-0242 was a circuit court civil proceeding governed by the
Hawai'l Rules of Civil Procedure. See HRS § 846E-3(d); HRCP 1.
The circuit court’s January 13, 2005 order was not reduced to a
separate judgment, as required by HRCP 58. See Jenkins v, Cades
Schutte Fleming & Wright, 76 Hawai'i 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994) (an
order that resolves claims in a circuit court civil case is not
appealable unless the order is reduced to a separate judgment
‘Thus, the appeal of the January 13, 2005

pursuant to HRCP 58).
‘Therefore,

order is premature and we lack jurisdiction.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for
lack of appellate jurisdiction.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, May 27, 2005.
