NO. 23501 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I MAVIS N. HAGIWARA, Claimant-Appellant vs. CLINICAL LABORATORIES OF HAWAI#I INC., Employer-Appellee and HIH AMERICA INSURANCE COMPANY OF HAWAI#I INC., Insurance Carrier-Appellee APPEAL FROM THE LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS APPEALS BOARD (CASE NO. AB 2000-099(H) (1-96-00509)) ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL (By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.) Upon review of the statements supporting and contesting jurisdiction and the record, it appears that: (1) the May 11, 2000 order granting the stay of worker’s compensation benefits is a pretrial order that does not finally end the proceeding before the labor appeals board and deferring review of the order pending entry of a final decision by the appeals board will not deprive Appellant of adequate relief; and, thus, (2) we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. HRS §§ 91-14(a) and 386-88. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, October 19, 2000.
