GOYA, Respondent-Appellee. _______________________________ ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) CASE NO. AB 99-247 (2-94-15304) ORDER Upon consideration of the June 2, 2000 motion for reconsideration, which was not signed in accordance with HRAP 32(c)(as amended January 1, 2000), and the June 6, 2000 motion for reconsideration, which is untimely, the papers in support and the record, it appears that the March 7, 2000 order denying the request to reopen is not an appealable preliminary ruling of the nature that deferral of review pending entry of a subsequent final decision would deprive Appellant of adequate relief inasmuch as the order -2- directs Appellant to seek reopening with the labor director, who may grant reopening under HRS § 386-89. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion for reconsideration is denied. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, June 8, 2000. RONALD T.Y. MOON, Chief Justice STEVEN H. LEVINSON, Associate Justice PAULA A.
