APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT “I
(CR. NO. 98-2082)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

: Nakayama, J. for the court?)

 

upon review of the record, it appears that the circuit
court's April 5, 2005 order denying appellant's HRPP Rule 35
motion for correction of sentence was appealable by notice of
appeal filed with the circuit court within thirty days after the
order was entered. See HRAP 4(b) (1). Appellant!'s notice of
appeal was filed with the circuit court on June 7, 2005, sixty-
three days after entry of the April 5, 2005 order and was
untimely. Our recognized exceptions to the requirement that
notices of appeal be tinely filed do not apply in this case.
Thus, we lack jurisdiction. See Grattafiori v. State, 79 Hawai'i
10, 13, 897 P.2d 937, 940 (1995) ("[Clompliance with the
requirement of the timely filing of a notice of appeal is
jurisdictional, and we must dismiss an appeal on our own motion

if we lack jurisdiction.”). Therefore,

jana, Acoba, and Duffy, 3d.
