IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAT'T

  

ROGELIO L. GANOTISI, Petitioner-Appellantra’ 5

 

STATE OF HAWAI'I, Respondent-Appellee.

APPEAL PROM THE FIFTH CIRCUIT COURT
(S.P.P. NO. 4-1-0008)

QI PEAL
oy: SR Rue)

upon review of the record, it appears that the circuit
court's Decenber 9, 2004 order denying appellant's HRPP Rule 40
petition for post-conviction relief was appealable by notice of
appeal filed with the circuit court within thirty days after the
order was entered. See HRPP 40(h); HRAP 4(b) (1). Appellant's
notice of appeal was filed with the circuit court on May 9, 2005,
five months after entry of the December 9, 2004 order and was
untimely. Our recognized exceptions to the requirement that
notices of appeal be timely 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) ("[C]ompliance with the
requirement of the timely filing of a notice of appeal is
jurisdictional, and we must dismiss an appeal on our own motion
Af we lack jurisdiction.”). Therefore,

IT Is HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for
lack of appellate jurisdiction.
