Document:

NO. 23400 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I STATE OF HAWAI#I, Plaintiff-Appellee vs. TONY JOHNSON, also known as Samuel A. Carter, Defendant-Appellant APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT (CR. NO. 99-2002) ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL (By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.) Upon review of the record, it appears that Appellant’s April 16, 2000 letter to the clerk of the supreme court was treated and filed as a notice of appeal. However, sentence has not been imposed and judgment has not been entered in Cr. No. 99- 2002. Thus, this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. HRS § 641-11. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, August 28, 2000.
