NO. 03-1-1137) * * * NOT FOR PUBLICATION * * * 2 APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL (By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.) Upon review of the record, it appears that the circuit court’s July 23, 2003 order granting summary judgment in favor of the defendants on the claims asserted in Civil No. 03-1-0800 and Civil No. 03-1-1137 has not been reduced to a separate judgment, as required by HRCP 58. See Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming & Wright, 76 Hawai#i 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994). Thus, this appeal 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 12, 2003.
