IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI'I

 

STATE OF HANAT'I, Petitioner-Appellee
vs.

MATIAS ULANGCA, JR., Respondent-Appellant

 

 

APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
(S.P. NO, 04-1-0176)

‘ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)

Upon review of the record, it appears that S.P. No. 04-
1-0176 was a circuit court civil proceeding governed by the
Hawai'i Rules of Civil Procedure. See HRS $ 846E-3(d); HRCP 1.
The circuit court’s August 3, 2004 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
pursuant to HRCP $8). Thus, the appeal of the August 3, 2004

 

 

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