APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
(3.P.P. NO. 03-1-0052)

(By: Nakayama, J. for the court!)

 

Upon review of the record, it appears that the circuit
court's January 27, 2005 order denying appellant's HRPP Rule 40
petition for post-conviction relief was appealable by notice of
appeal filed with the circuit court within thirty days after the
order was entered. See HRPP 40(h); BRAP 4(b) (1). Appellant’s
notice of appeal was filed with the circuit court on March 8,
2008, thirty-eight days after entry of the January 27, 2005 order
and was untimely. Our recognized exceptions to the requirement
that notices of appeal be timely filed do not apply in this case.
‘Thus, we lack jurisdiction. See Grattafiori v. State, 79 Hawai'i
10, 13, 897 P.24 937, 940 (1995) ("[(CJompliance with the
requirement of the timely filing of a notice of appeal is
jurisdictional, and we must dismiss an appeal on our own motion

 

Lf we lack jurisdiction.”). Therefor
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for
lack of appellate jurisdiction.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, August 4, 2005.
