JARED PUVOHAU, Plaintiff-Appellant

PAUL ALLEN, Defendant-Appelle:

APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT cour |G
(CIV. NO. 05-1-0073) s

 

ORDER
(ay: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)

 

upon consideration of Defendant-Appellee Paul Allen's
motion to dismiss the appeal of Plaintiff-Appellant Jared
Puuohau, the papers in support, and the records and files herein,
it appears that: (1) the circuit court allowed Plaintift-
Appellant Jared Puschau to proceed in the underlying case without
payment of the filing fee: (2) pursuant to HRAP Rule 24(b), a
party who has been permitted to proceed in an action in the
circuit court in forma pauperis may proceed on appeal in the sane
action in forma pauperis without further authorization, unless
the court appealed from certifies that the appeal is not taken in
good faith or shall find that the party is not entitled to so
proceed: (3) upon entry and service of such certification, the
appellant may seek further relief in the supreme court; (4)
although the circuit court issued an order certifying the appeal

is not being taken in good faith and finding Appellant Puuohau is

Oss
not entitled to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, Appellant
Puuohau did not comply HRAP Rule 24(c) and seek leave from the
appellate court to proceed without payment of the filing fee or
comply with HRAP Rule 24(4) and pay the filing fees (5) on

August 29, 2005, this court ordered Appellant Puuchau to comply

with HRAP Rule 24(c) or pay the filing fe

 

in accordance with
HRAP Rule 24(d) and that failure to comply with the order may
result in dismissal of the appeal; (6) Appellant Puuchau did not
comply with the August 29, 2005 order. Therefore,

TT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion to dismiss appeal
is granted, and this appeal is dismissed due to Appellant’s
failure to pay the filing fee.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, November 28, 2005.
