NO. 10-1-0414) ORDER DISMISSING APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.) On August 3, 2015, petitioner/defendant-appellant Marcelo Magno Lopez, Jr. (“Lopez”) filed an application for writ of certiorari to review the Intermediate Court of Appeals’ May 19, 2015 order dismissing his appeal. The application for writ of certiorari was initially due on June 18, 2015. See HRS § 602- Electronically Filed Supreme Court SCWC-15-0000254 15-SEP-2015 07:50 AM 59(c) (Supp. 2014); HRAP Rule 40.1(a)(1). Lopez, however, timely requested and received an extension of time to file the application for writ of certiorari, thereby extending the deadline for filing the application for writ of certiorari an additional thirty days, to July 20, 2015. See HRS § 602-59(c); HRAP Rule 40.1(a)(3); HRAP Rule 26(a). Lopez filed his application for writ of certiorari on August 3, 2015. The application for writ of certiorari is untimely, and this court lacks appellate jurisdiction. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the application for writ of certiorari is dismissed. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, September 15, 2015. Marcelo Magno Lopez, Jr., petitioner pro se /s/ Mark E. Recktenwald /s/ Paula A. Nakayama /s/ Sabrina S. McKenna /s/ Richard W. Pollack /s/ Michael D.
