APPEAL PROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
(CIV. No, 01-1-2939)

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 orders entered on December 7, 2004, January 18, 2008 and
February 17, 2005 were not 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) (an order that
resolves claims in a circuit court civil case is not appealable
unless the order is reduced to separate judgment pursuant to HRCP
58). If the aforementioned orders were reduced to a separate
judgment, the separate judgment was not entered by the time the
record for Civil No. 01-1-2939 was filed in the supreme court on

March 7, 2008. See Jenkins, 76 Hawai'i at 120, 869 P.2d at 1339

 

(“An appeal from an order that is not reduced to @ judgment in

favor of or against the party by the tine the record is filed in

 
*** NOT FOR PUBLICATION ***
the supreme court will be dismissed.”). 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, April 18, 2005.
