NO. 24946 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I JONATHAN LOW, Appellant-Appellant vs. CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, STATE OF HAWAI#I, and KAREN YEE, Appellees-Appellees APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT (FC-AP NO. 00-1-0011) ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT AND TRANSFERRING APPEAL TO FAMILY COURT (By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.) Upon review of the record, it appears that Appellant Jonathan Low’s February 1, 2002 letter, received on February 7, 2002, was filed on February 27, 2002 as a notice of appeal. It further appears that the letter is an attempt to appeal from the Child Support Enforcement Agency’s January 22, 2002 Administrative Findings and Order. Pursuant to HRS § 576E-13, such appeals must first be heard in the family court. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is transferred to the Family Court of the First Circuit and the appeal to the supreme court is dismissed. This dismissal is without prejudice to a timely notice of appeal to the supreme court after the family court enters its judgment upon the appeal from the January 22, 2002 Administrative Findings and Order. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, November 19, 2002.
