(By: Moon, C.3. for the court!)
Upon consideration of petitioner/employer-cross-
appellant /delinquent-appellant Kevin M. Hughes dba South Pacific
Painting’s ex-parte motion for permission to file a late

application for writ of certiorari and petitioner's application
the

for writ of certiorari, both filed on December 15, 2008,
papers in support thereof, and the record herein, it appears that

the time for filing an application for writ of certiorari is

Levingon, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.

 

* considered by: Moon, ¢.J.
governed by Hawai'i Revised Statutes § 602-59(c) (Supp. 2007)
which requires an application for writ of certiorari to be filed
“no later than ninety days after the filing of the judgment or
dismissal order of the intermediate appellate court” and does not
permit an extension of the ninety-day period. ‘The ninety-day
statutory period cannot be extended pursuant to Hawai'i Rules of
Appellate Procedure (HRAP) Rule 26(b), which permits the
appellate court to extend a time “prescribed by these [HRAP]
rules* and does not permit the appellate court to extend a time
prescribed by statute. therefore,

I? IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion for permission to
file a late application for writ of certiorari is denied.

IP IS FURTHER ORDERED that the application for writ of
certiorari, filed December 15, 2008, is dismissed as untimely.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai't, December 23, 2008.
