Document:

NO. 24178 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI » I STATE OF HAWAI » I, Plaintiff-Appellee vs. JEWEL MCDONALD, Defendant-Appellant and BARBARA SCOTT, aka Kenya Scott, Barbara Kenya Scott, and Kenya Parker, Defendant APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT (CR. NO. 96-2091) ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL (By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.) Upon review of the record, it appears that Appellant seeks review of pretrial rulings denying dismissal of the indictment by appealing from a March 2, 2001 order granting Appellant a deferred acceptance of a no contest plea and deferring plea acceptance until 2006. The March 2, 2001 order is not final for the purpose of taking an appeal and it does not provide a jurisdictional basis for reviewing the pretrial rulings purportedly preserved by conditional plea under HRPP Rule 11(a)(2). See State v. Kealaiki, 95 Hawai » i 309, 22 P.3d 588 (2001). Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai » i, October 8, 2001.
