ORDER Morron -ONnst
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, and Nakayama, JJ.
and Acoba, J., dissenting with whom Duffy, J., joins)
upon consideration of the motion for reconsideration of
the May 30, 2006 order dismissing appeal, the papers in support
and the record, it appears that the award of permanent custody
was not based on appellant’s default at the permanent custody
hearing, but was based on the family court’s determination that

the criteria of HRS § 587-73(a) was established by clear and

convineing evidence. Absent a valid appeal of the award of
permanent custody, the matter of appellant's default is moot.

‘Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion for

reconsideration is denied.
