Petitioner/Respondent-Appellee-Cross-Appellant/Appellee 

UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company formerly doing business as

Evercare (UnitedHealthcare) applies for writ of certiorari,

challenging the Intermediate Court of Appeals’s (ICA) August 19,

(circuit court) that were entered on June 20, 2012 in Civil No.

11-1-2903-11, Civil No. 11-1-2542-10, and Civil No. 11-1-2533-10. 

Upon consideration of UnitedHealthcare’s appeal, the specific

facts of these cases, together with all submissions in support

thereof, we conclude that the circuit court had subject matter

jurisdiction over each of the consolidated cases. The ICA’s

judgment vacating the circuit court’s judgments is affirmed.1

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, September 22, 2016.

Although we affirm the ICA’s disposition in this case, we do not 1

endorse the ICA’s interpretation of Hawai#i Management Alliance Association v.

Insurance Commissioner, 106 Hawai#i 21, 100 P.3d 952 (2004).
