APPEAL FROM THE THERD CIRCUIT COURT, HILO DIVISION
(CIV. NOS. 98-329 and 99-474)

(ay: Nakayama, J., for the court?)

 

upon review of the record, it appears that the closing
of the foreclosure sale is a matter incident to enforcement of
the October 2, 2000 judgment of foreclosure. The matter is
appealable upon entry of a deficiency judgment or an order

finally ending the foreclosure case. See HRS $ 667-51 (a) (Supp.
2004); Sturkie v. Han, 2 Haw. App. 140, 146-147, 627 P.2d 296,
301-302 (1981); Hoge v. Kane I, 4 Haw. App. 246, 247, 663 P.2d
645, 647 (1983). The March 18, 2005 order is an order extending
the closing date of the foreclosure sale and is not appealable
pursuant to HRS § 667-51(a)(2) as a judgment confirming the
foreclosure sale. Until a deficiency judgment or an order
finally ending the foreclosure case is entered, the appeal of the
March 18, 2005 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, December 20, 2005.
