NO. 23142 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I STATE OF HAWAI#I, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. JEWEL Y. LOVE, Defendant-Appellant. _______________________________ ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) CR. NO. 99-284 ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL Upon review of the record, it appears that: (1) the appeal of the orders dismissing the complaint without prejudice and denying reconsideration of the dismissal without prejudice is not authorized by HRS §§ 641-11 or 641-17, which authorize a defendant in a circuit court criminal case to appeal only from a judgment of conviction or a certified interlocutory order; and thus, (2) we lack jurisdiction over this appeal; State v. Grattafiori, 79 Hawai#i 10, 13, 897 P.2d 937, 940 (1995) (“The right of appeal in a criminal case is purely statutory and exists only when given by some constitutional or statutory provision.”). Therefore, 2 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, June 16, 2000. RONALD T.Y. MOON, Chief Justice STEVEN H. LEVINSON, Associate Justice PAULA A. NAKAYAMA, Associate Justice MARIO R. RAMIL, Associate Justice SIMEON R. ACOBA, JR., Associate Justice
