STATE OF HAWAI'I, Plaintiff-Appellee

vs.
MICHAEL ESTRELLA, Defendant-Appellant
APPEAL FROM THE SECOND CIRCUIT COURT
(CR. NOS. 98-0749, 98-0255, 00-1-0371, FCCR NO. 0-1-0967)

ono ING API

(By: Nakayama, J., for the court*)

   

upon review of the record, it appears that the circuit
court's September 29, 2005 order denying appellant’s motion for
immediate graduation from the drug court program is an
interlocutory order in Cr. Nos. 98-0749, 99-0255 and 0-1-0371
and FCCR No. 00-1-0967. The September 29, 2008 order was not
certified for interlocutory appeal pursuant to HRS § 641-17 and
the order is void as entered while jurisdiction over Cr. Nos.
98-0749, 99-0255 and 00-1-0371 and FCCR No. 00~1-0967 was with
the appellate court in No. 26027. See State v. Ortiz, 91 Hawai't
181, 197, 981 P.2d 1127, 1143 (1999) (“Appellate jurisdiction in
Hawai'i does not terminate until the appellate court files its
judgment on appeal.”). Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for
lack of appellate jurisdiction.
