EUGENE JAMES HUTCH, Petitioner-Appellant

    
 
 

STATE OF HAWAI'I, Respondent-Appellee

APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
(S.B. NO. 05-1-0353)

(2:1 hq Lease

 

a SMISSING APP!
(By: Nakayama, J., for the court")
upon review of the record, it appears that the circuit
court’s October 24, 2005 order granting the motion to dismiss
lomplaint was not reduced to a separate judgment, es required by
RCP 58. See Jenkins des
Hawai'i 115, €69 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 by the time
the record is filed in the supreme court). 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, February 27, 2006.
FOR THE COURT:

 

 

Bel Gruul
Associate Justice
