In the Interest of K.D.

 

APPEAL FROM THE FAMILY COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT
(Fe-S No. 01-07576)

ORDER DISMISSING MOTHER APPELLANT’ S APPEAL
(By: Nakayama, J., for the court!)

Upon review of the record, it appears that mother~
appellant’s parental and custodial rights and duties were
divested by the November 1, 2005 order awarding permanent
custody. The right to appeal the November 1, 2005 order was
conditioned upon the filing of a motion for reconsideration of
the order within twenty days after the order was entered. See
HRS § 571-54; In the Interest of Jane Doe, 77 Hawai'i 109, 113,
863 P.2d 30, 34 (1994); In the Interest of Jane Doe, 3 Haw. App.
391, 394, 651 P.2d 492, 494 (1982). Mother-appellant’s motion
for reconsideration was filed on November 28, 2005, twenty-seven
days after entry of the Novenber 1, 2005 order. The twenty-day
statutory deadline of HRS § 571-54 could not be waived. See HRAP
26(b). Thus, the jurisdictional requirement for appealing the
November 1, 2005 order was not met by mother-appellant and we
lack jurisdiction over mother-appellant’s appeal. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that mother-appellant’s appeal is
dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
